No one challenges traditional roles and stereotypes more than Arlether Wilson.  She defied the odds and today she is the award winning author of Rewriting the Script, a veteran police officer, certified Child Abuse and Family Violence Investigator.  As a victims’ advocate, she is responsible for the coordination of all victim service operations at her department. 

Wilson earned her Master Peace Officer Certification, which is the highest honor bestowed upon a Texas peace officer.  During her tenure she promoted up the ranks and became the first female captain at her department.  In 1998, she was honored as officer of the year and is recognized as a leader in her profession.  Among several other honors, she has earned several congressional and senate commendations. 

But she didn’t stop there.  Wilson became an avid volunteer and advocate for women and children across the country.  Audiences around the world are receptive to her experiences because she is truthful and transparent in her approach.
