I had an exclusive interview with Patrice Pettigrew, the Wausau Police Department's first black female officer. I talked to the Milwaukee native to find out what brought her to the Northwoods.

I shot, wrote, and edited this package, enjoy!

  • Thanks to all who've been inspired by this vid :-) In general police get a bad rep & they've got a tough job. The purpose was to introduce a new officer & to show the area's growing diversity is nothing to be afraid of. Tensions in Northern WI have been high since a Asian hunter shot & killed 6 people. On the flip side, not even 30 years ago Wausau was in the national spotlight as the WHITEST place in America. The point, diversity is here to stay & it's up to you how you handle it. Peace, M
