Name of Officer: Maira Villela Education: Pine Tree HS & East Texas Police Academy Hometown: Longview, TX Prior job experience if any: None How do you feel when you put on your uniform each day? Proud People don’t often understand how hard police officers work to keep citizens safe, what inspired, you to become a protector of the community and can you tell us if any daily risks you’ve seen or experienced. This community has given so much to me It was time to give back. What is a misconception you have seen that the public have about the Police? That we don’t care. They don’t understand we have a job to fulfill. As a Police officer, what do you want your legacy to be? Remembered as someone who loved to help others What was one of your toughest days on the job? When co-worker’s lives were lost and we have to continue working. (Ellen Goodan and Stedmon Coleman) How does your family feel about you being a police officer? They are proud of my accomplishments and fully support me. Police officers work long hours and the work is very stressful, how do you like to relax? Gym, cooking, and spending time with family If you could go back in time and tell your younger self one thing what would it be? Hang in there, God has a plan for your life. As a champion of the community and symbol of justice how can we as a community better support the police? Stop telling children that we will take them to jail if they keep acting bad… Do police officers really like donuts? Yes, I like chocolate donuts :) Do you think the Cowboys have a shot at the Super Bowl anytime soon and why? No…
