Yeadon Police Department Swears In First-Ever Full-Time Female Officer

YEADON, Pa. (CBS) -- The Yeadon Police Department made some history Thursday night. The borough swore in its first-ever full-time female officer, Leah Cesanek.

Cesanek returned to the department, where she used to be part-time, after working in Chester County.

"It's been a dream of mine since I was little to be a police officer and to be a police officer now full-time in this borough that I've wanted to be in since I started the job, it's awesome," Cesanek said.

The department also gave out four promotions and made three part-time hires.
