A woman in Puerto Rico has shattered one of the biggest remaining glass ceilings in law enforcement.
CNN’s Alaa Elassar reported that a Black female agent from Tampa, Florida but working primarily within the U.S. Island territory of Puerto Rico “is believed to be the first Black woman to be selected to train for any of the bureau’s SWAT teams.”
“The newly chosen agent, who has only been identified as Tai, will be undergoing New Operator Training School (NOTS), a 10-week course that prepares selectees for SWAT field operations,” Elassar reported, citing an FBI press release issued to celebrate the occasion.
