Taylor Price has wanted to be a police officer since she was nine, but when she found out she was pregnant at age 18, she put college on hold.
“I’ve always wanted to go to school, but having a kid at a young age, I kind of just put it on the back burner,” she said.
It wasn’t until after her second child was born that Taylor decided it was time to take the leap. She enrolled in Police Science at Hawkeye Community College. At times balancing school, work, and motherhood felt overwhelming, but she found compassion and support from her instructors.
“The instructors are awesome,” she said. “They are here to watch you succeed. They want you to be the best future police officer that you could possibly be.”
