Personal

About Me:
I am a Law Enforcement Survivor. My wonderful husband Sgt. John Blaser, Arizona DPS, was killed LODD August 31, 1990, at the age of 36, along with Officer David Gabrielli, age 42, by an impaired driver in Tucson, AZ. I have worked on drunk driving and crime victim rights issues since 1991. I've served on numerous non-profit and government voluntary boards/commissions relating to roadway safety, crime victim rights, underage drinking and prevention for over 17 years. Since 2006, I've been actively working with Concerns of Police Survivors on both a national and statewide basis. It is both tough and rewarding working with agencies and families of fallen officers. All in all, it is my life. I am very fortunate and blessed to have found a great husband who loves and supports me in these endeavors.
Favorite TV Shows:
Law and Order, all of them
Favorite Music:
