Captain Cheryl Kimball: Her Leadership Journey
Join the Kiwanis Club of Lakeland as we welcome Captain Cheryl Kimball of the Lakeland Police Department for an inspiring conversation about leadership, perseverance, public service, and the lessons learned along the way.
A former NCAA Division I softball standout, Captain Kimball joined LPD in 2001 and went on to become the department's first female SWAT officer, serving on the team for 15 years.
Her career has included leading specialized operations, commanding the SWAT team, and overseeing major public safety initiatives. Today, she serves as Commanding Officer of LPD's General Services Section.
From the softball diamond to a distinguished career in law enforcement, Captain Kimball has built a leadership philosophy centered on teamwork, trust, relationships, and showing up for the community.
Lieutenant Joe Parker will introduce our guest speaker.
