Police Officer Jillian Ludvick, who began learning to fly when she was 13, has become the NYPD’s first Black female pilot.
Ludvick also had a passion for flying and law enforcement after watching her dad rescue people as an Emergency Service Unit detective in the NYPD. Flying runs in the family. Ludvick’s great-uncle was an aviation pioneer, becoming only the fourth African-American to get a pilot’s license.
During the pandemic, Ludvick became a police officer working street patrols in the Bronx.
After years of training she now patrols the skies in a helicopter for the department. #BWLM💕
