The first time Abilene Police Chief Anna Hatter faced a police officer, she never knew the career would become her life’s path. At the time, she was laid off from her sheet metal assembly job and driving around with her two sons in the back seat. … “I got a ticket, which I deserved, but he was very professional and courteous. That was my very first interaction with a law enforcement officer. I ended up leaving that encounter thinking about that as a career, which I hadn’t previously thought about.” So now in a time of tension between law enforcement and other communities, Hatter wanted to share her experiences as an officer in Wichita to being a Chief in Abilene, so people can see what skills and what differences future officers may face.
