Lives of the Police Women of Broward County

LOS ANGELES, July 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Some Moms pack lunches. These Moms pack
heat. TLC introduces POLICE WOMEN OF BROWARD COUNTY, a new 10-part docudrama
showcasing the fast-paced action surrounding a remarkable group of women
working at the Broward County, Fla., Sheriff's Office. From gang busts to car
chases to undercover sting operations, TLC's cameras capture the harsh and
harrowing reality of females in law enforcement, with unprecedented access to
the agency's inner workings.

Premiering Thursday, August 6,at 9 PM (ET/PT), POLICE WOMEN OF
BROWARDCOUNTYfollows the lives of four women as they juggle the needs of their
families with intensely demanding -- and often dangerous -- jobs. Each
hour-long episode is packed with adrenaline, bringing viewers along for the
ride as these women risk their lives to keep the streets safe. But danger is
only part of the job -- off-duty, the POLICE WOMEN OF BROWARD COUNTY are
mothers, sisters and wives who maintain homes and raise families. Each day is
a delicate balance between their personal lives and a career that comes with
real risks.

Meet the POLICE WOMEN OF BROWARDCOUNTY:
-- Andrea Penoyer: A smart, 26-year-old single mother with a spunky
attitude and a passion for her job. The only woman assigned to South
Florida's most effective elite street crimes unit, Andrea knows how
to use whatever tactical methods are necessary to clean up the
streets.
-- Julie Bower: A 48-year-old detective who raises three kids by day and
solves sex crimes and missing person cases by night. Julie loves what
she does and will not give up until the case is solved.
-- Shelunda Cooper: For this 25-year-old rookie, being a cop is all in
the
family. Her twin sister is on the force, and Shelunda is also newly
married to another Broward Sheriff's Office deputy. She works the
graveyard shift, historically the most dangerous, responding to
unpredictable calls in a diverse seaside city. Whenever something
goes
wrong after midnight, Shelunda's on her way.

-- Ana Murillo: A tough, straight-talking, 29-year-old who will stand up
to anyone except her two-year-old son.Ana and her team patrol the
toughest parts of BrowardCounty, conducting surveillance operations
and
stakeouts, looking for drug deals to go down. In a world dominated by
men, Ana is determined to prove she's every bit as tough as the
next guy.
