Killerlane is the only female motorcycle officer on the Prince George’s County police force and just the second in its 75 year history. In fact she's a rarity nationwide.

“You do it and you say, ‘okay, I see how that feels now. I know what to do and I'm gonna try to never be in that situation,’” she says.
