Our quarterly First Responders Service Above Self presentation last week was to Officer Neesa McFarland of Frisco Police Department. Nessa earned her BS in Psychology from Texas A&M University and her Jurist Doctorate from Texas Wesleyan School of Law.  She completed clerkships at the Department of Justice in Washington DC, the US Attorney's Office, and the Tarrant County Attorney's Office. Then she worked as an Assistant County Attorney in Brazos County, TX, where she prosecuted DWI's, gang offenders, and drug offenders.   She graduated Valedictorian from the Denton Police Academy before joining Frisco Police Department in July 2016.  She has been working night shift in Patrol since March 2017.
 
McFarland exemplifies the core values of the Frisco Police Department, serving our citizens with compassion and empathy.  She does not hesitate to help others, whether through performing CPR during a medical call or helping grieving families during a crisis.  
 
McFarland diligently investigates crime, and is known for processing crime scenes to obtain latent prints to help further an investigation.  She excels at domestic violence investigations, DWI's, and drug investigations.  Officer McFarland's education, commitment, and service help set apart the Frisco Police Department as a model agency for others to emulate.
 
The program time was devoted to Committee Meetings with full participation of those attending in our various areas of service.  Results of the meetings will be announced in coming weeks.
