AN EVENING WITH THERESE ROCCO : PITTSBURGH ’ S FIRST FEMALE
ASSISTANT POLICE CHIEF 7 p . m ., Wednesday , Nov . 14
Therese Rocco began her career in law enforcement as a 19-year-old clerk in the missing persons unit of the Pittsburgh Police Department . Her career ended nearly 50 years later as an honored and acclaimed assistant police chief , the first woman in the department — and the country — to reach such a high-ranking position . Rocco established national protocols for investigating missing children cases that have saved the lives of an untold number of children . To this day , she continues to work with the FBI on an unsolved missing child case that has haunted her since the 1960s . She is credited with breaking the glass ceiling for women on the police force in Pittsburgh , navigating her way through discriminating times in a male-dominated field , and helping female officers to succeed . Rocco will discuss her career , her memoir , and the upcoming documentary about her .
