 Barbara Villa, Arizona News, Radio Phoenix. For the first time in its history, the Glendale Police Department has a female motorcycle officer among its ranks. She's Karina Arendt, who's been on the detail for about a month. She says it's something she's been interested in since joining the department. I rode with the traffic unit for the first two weeks, and that's what got me interested. And then as time went on, I was ready to try out for motors.
