Sepulveda never expected to get such kind support, but nowadays, it has become the norm. In Fremont, where she continues to work for the police force, the locals have come to accept what she does outside the beat. She told the New York Post, “They’re a lot nicer because they feel they know me. I’m not just a jerk cop.” In another interview, she further explained how some people have started to recognize her while she patrols the streets. Now, she simply nods her head and acknowledges them.
