Tamara Beauzile spent over twenty years serving her community as a New York City policewoman. However, that was not the only way she reached out. She organized many programs for the community, perhaps most notably the first ever Cops and Kids Female Basketball League. Tamara would like to do even more for her community now that she is retired.
