Provo • The first woman to hold the position of chief investigator at the Utah County Attorney’s Office is hoping to be a mentor to other women working in law enforcement after she worked her way from a corrections officer to deputy to her new post over nearly three decades, the Daily Herald reported .
Patty Johnston was selected by Utah County Attorney David Leavitt after she served in law enforcement for 26 years and was an investigator with the division for almost 15 years.
Starting out at the Utah County Jail was eye-opening, Johnston said.
