The FBI Albany field office is celebrating Women’s History Month by honoring women in law enforcement.

The annual “Recruiting Women into Law Enforcement” event will be held at the Albany Capital Center from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. on March 12. You can register here.

Ahead of the event, NewsChannel 13’s Faith King spoke with two special agents. One of them is Samantha Baltzersen, who has been with the department for 20 years.

Hear about how her journey got her to where she is today by watching the video of Faith King’s story.

At 6 a.m. on Tuesday morning, meet Ellen Thurmer, who has been in her role as a special agent for only a few years.

We’ll also post that to WNYT.com later on Tuesday.
