Get To Know...

Through this feature you will get to know a bit about the men and women who work for the Mesa Police Department.

Cari Zanella is in the spotlight this month. She is one of the Administrators in Communications. We recently asked her the following:

Q:  Tell us about a typical work day.
A:  It's always unpredictable because critical issues can pop up that take priority over the day you had planned, no matter how well you think you planned it.

Q:  What do you do when you aren't working?
A:  I treasure every minute I can with my family and especially our granddaughter, Bailey. I also hang out with my circle of friends at least once a week -- our husbands call us the "coven."

Q:  Where did you work before joining Mesa PD?
A:  I worked for a local fire department.

Q:  What music is on your iPod/mp3 player?
A:  It's pretty schizophrenic -- classical, jazz, blues, rock, metal, techno.  Everything but country.

Q:  What is your favorite meal?
A:  A Route 44 cup of Sonic Ice. Maybe get fancy and add a shot of Sprite Zero.

Q:  What is your favorite movie or TV show?
A:  The Walking Dead, Sons of Anarchy.

Q:  If you could go anywhere on vacation, where would you go and why?
A:  Nepal or India.  They're on on the Bucket List. 

Q:  If you could have a super power, what would it be and why?
A:  The ability to see the future. Every Powerball would be mine. :-)

Q:  What sound do you love?
A:  Rain.

Q:  If you could learn to do anything, what would it be?
A:  ...today?  I would learn all the payroll rules and how they apply to Kronos (our payroll system).
