In total, she’s worked in law enforcement for 18 years and a graduate of Williamson High, where her interest in policing first sparked.
Now, in the MPD homicide unit, she’s leading the investigation into a senseless murder that’s resulted in 6 arrests. Deontae Kimbrough, Teriana Thompson, Ryan Kidd, Kentrell Freeman, and Kelvin Estell, who were all in court Wednesday for the shooting death of 14-year-old Daniel Blackmon. Along with a sixth suspect, Sidney Collins, police said they all played a part in the killing on Cheshire Drive back in February.“Looking at that mother or that father, or the child of their parent, it gives me energy to say listen, Kenyada, you have to fight through,” she said.
Corporal Taylor said she’s achieved three degrees since being with the Mobile Police Department, and in fact MPD, will pay half tuition while in college. She said with every degree, law enforcement also gets a five percent raise.Download the FOX10 Weather App. Get life-saving severe weather warnings and alerts for your location no matter where you are.
