As part of Hispanic Heritage Month, we are highlighting exceptional people in the community, starting with the first Hispanic Chief of Police at Eastern Illinois University, Marisol Gamboa. A first-generation American and college graduate, Gamboa grew up wanting to make her parents proud and give back to the community. Gamboa joined the force as a patrol officer in a small Texas town climbed the ranks to a lieutenant and got the call for an opportunity of a lifetime.
