Describing herself as "Police Officer, writer of observations, student of the masters" she's been sharing her policing experiences through an online blog for the last several years. She recently began writing a column for the The Beacon-News. In her most recent article Commander Ziman wrote on bravery, courage and the "Thin Blue Line". Her article inspires us to resolve this new year to practice more courage.
