Police Work Runs In One Fort Worth Family

Nerissa Knight
FORT WORTH (CBS 11 News) ― Today some new police officers are set to hit the streets to fight crime. It's graduation day for the Fort Worth Police Department, but it's been decades in the making for one top grad.

Brandi Kamper has dreamed of being an officer for as long as she can remember. It's dangerous work, sure, but you can't blame her. It runs in her family.

Her sister, Samantha Homer, is also an officer. And her mother, Sharon Kamper, answers to "Lieutenant Kamper."

Several kinds of uniforms run in the family. Brandi was a nurse in Kuwait during Desert Storm. Her sister served in afghanistan.

"It's kinda been something that's come natural to me," said Samantha.

For now, the family is just relishing the moment, of history in the making. Because Brandi, of Cadet Class #117, is the first woman to ever to be president of her Cadet Class.
