Charlotte Yerdon: Super Trooper

Charlotte Yerdon: Super Trooper Charlotte grow up with two older brothers in a neighborhood of all boys. Charlotte was comfortable playing Army, hide and seek, and being on the run. Many of Charlottes family members served in the military and law enforcement. Her father served in the Army, her older brother became an Apache pilot, and her cousin Jessica Yerdon attended West Point. Charlotte set her sights on attending West Point, serving in the Military, and joining the FBI. She worked hard academically and in extracurricular activities to prepare herself for those goals. Charlotte was accepted to West Point and to the Softball team, but the path through Beast and to graduation wasn’t easy. Charlotte stumbled early out of the gates, but friends, family, and personal determination allowed her to grow and succeed. Charlotte branched Adjutant General and served in South Korea and North Chicago. Serving in positions that didn’t feed Charlotte’s desire to lead and serve. Charlotte would apply for the New York State Police and transition out of the military at the end of her initial military service obligation. Charlotte was prepared for state police academy and her continued service as a state trooper has met her desires to lead and serve. Great discussion on what it means to serve as a law enforcement officer. This is her story.
