Croatia are a force to be reckoned with by Aman Sridhar

Live PD Presents: Women On Patrol highlights female police officers, including Sgt. Michelle Weber, who spoke to FanSided about the Live PD spinoff.

TV fans are getting more Live PD over the summer, thanks to Lifetime‘s spinoff series Live PD Presents: Women On Patrol.

The new series, which premiered June 18, follows female law enforcement officers from several new departments never before seen, interspersed with highlights featuring some of Live PD‘s fan favorites.

To get the dish on Women On Patrol, FanSided spoke to one of the series’ featured officers, Sgt. Michelle Weber from Jackson (WY). Read what she had to tell us below, then catch a new episode of Live PD Presents: Women On Patrol tonight at 9:00 p.m. on Lifetime.

FanSided: What motivated you to be part of Live PD Presents: Women On Patrol?

Sgt. Michelle Weber (MW): I saw this as an opportunity to highlight the noble work that our department and our officers perform every day.

FanSided: What should TV audiences know about you as they watch the series? How did you become a law enforcement officer?

MW: I received my undergraduate degree in Criminal Justice. After spending several years in the Army Reserve, going into law enforcement was a natural career progression. I hope that the audience sees that I have a genuine interest in serving my community and that I believe in treating all people with respect.

FanSided: Did you have to adapt at all to having the Live PD camera crew with you on duty?

MW: Our agency has been issued body-worn cameras for several years now, so for me it was like having an additional body-worn camera — from every angle.

FanSided: Jackson hasn’t been featured on the original Live PD. How would you describe the community for TV audiences who are about to see it for the first time?

MW: Jackson Hole is a tourist destination, located just outside of Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone National Park (the world’s first national park). It has skiing in the winter, endless hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding trails in the summer.

Jackson, Wyoming elected the first all-woman City Council in 1920. I love the great outdoors, the wildlife and the mountains. Our community welcomes 2.6 million visitors a year from around the world. I enjoy walking downtown and always seeing somebody I know.

FanSided: The purpose of Women On Patrol is to highlight women in the law enforcement world. Are there women who have inspired or influenced your work?

MW: She was not in law enforcement, but Clarene Law, at 84 years of age, is a local businesswoman who also served 14 years in the state legislature. Clarene Law has given so much to our community and is a role model for me and many women across the state of Wyoming.

FanSided: What do you hope TV viewers take away from watching you on the show?

MW: My advice to women seeking a career in law enforcement would be to find a mentor, train hard, work hard and never give up.

Live PD Presents: Women On Patrol airs on Lifetime at 9:00 p.m. Mondays. For more TV interviews and everything happening on TV, follow the Television category at FanSided.
