It is reported that the female police officer has served for more than two years.

Rosa added: "I am proud of the female officer involved in this incident, and I am confident that in the tense situation, her actions were clear and demonstrated her good leadership."
The male police officer involved had two allegations of excessive use of force nearly 20 years ago, but both were cleared, local TV station WSVN reported. Currently, Price has been placed in clerical work pending the outcome of the investigation.
