LATINO LIDERES AWARD
NORALVA GALLOWAY i am currently employed at the lee county sheriff’ s office as the captain of the internal affairs unit.
if you’ re not familiar with this role, it is the department that monitors the conduct of law enforcement officers. the internal affairs unit is responsible for investigating all allegations of misconduct by law enforcement members, including complaints of excessive use of force, racial profiling, and human rights violations.
the unit’ s primary goal is to ensure accountability and uphold agency standards. i have been a law enforcement officer for the total of 24 years. in high school, a school resource officer told me that i would make a good police officer, and that comment stuck with me.
at 19, i put myself through the police academy and have been working in the profession ever since. i have worked in numerous capacities, such as patrol, gangs, narcotics( including in an undercover capacity), spent a short time in homicide, and currently in internal affairs.
