Speaking about her journey, Oretha reflected on the passion that motivated her to take this path.
“I have always had a growing passion for law enforcement. After graduating from AME Zion University, I learned about the LNP training program and the Memorandum of Understanding signed between the Police and my university. I immediately became interested. Many names were submitted for consideration, and I am grateful that I was selected. My graduation today from the LNP Academy is a testament to my dedication and passion for the field I have chosen,” she said.
Oretha’s success serves as an inspiration to other young Liberians, particularly women aspiring to careers in law enforcement and public service. Her determination, academic excellence, and commitment to serving her nation underscore the important role women continue to play in strengthening Liberia’s security institutions.
