Irma Betancourt (Probation)

Irma Betancourt (Probation) has been a "tremendous teacher and asset" to the San Diego Police Department's STAR/PAL diversion program for girls, according to San Diego Police Department officer Denise Mills.

           "Irma has a wonderful rapport with people of all ages, especially the "at-risk" girls we work with at the girls-only program run through STAR/PAL (Sports, Training, Academics, Recreation Police Athletic League).

           "Irma has successfully demonstrated leadership ability by counseling new and prospective students. Her advice and knowledge have been a great help to many of our students, many of whom have taken time to share their comments with me regarding her pleasant and encouraging attitude. She has been a huge assest to the program."
