Officer Imani Hiller-Bateau and dispatcher Audra Curtis are the newest first responders to join the Pleasanton Police Department.
The pair were officially sworn in at a recent ceremony, wearing face masks with their uniforms.
Hiller-Bateau, a Berkeley native, graduated from Berkeley High School and developed an interest in law enforcement while studying criminal justice at Merritt College. Before becoming an Oakland Police Department officer in 2018, Hiller-Bateau also worked as a police cadet.
Born and raised in Arkansas, Curtis started her law enforcement career “when she experienced firsthand the care and consideration from dispatchers,” PPD officials said. Prior to coming on board with the PPD, Curtis worked at the Stanford Health Care-ValleyCare emergency room.
