Season 7 continues to get better as we welcome Amanda Lachambre, a dedicated 10-year member of the Edmonton Police Service, who shares her inspiring journey through the ranks. Starting as a communications officer, Amanda transitioned to patrol, where she has served the community with unwavering commitment.
