First In, Last Out: The Story of Tammie McDonald

After 36 years in law enforcement, Tammie McDonald is hanging up her badge—but not her legacy. From dispatch to detective, she broke barriers as the first female detective, sergeant, and captain at the Levelland Police Department. From 1989 to 2025, she served with grit, heart, and unwavering commitment, earning numerous accolades—including the State of Texas Law Enforcement Achievement Award for Valor. Tammie’s next chapter? More porch talks, travel adventures, and cherished time with her daughter Ashley and her parents. Thank you, Tammie, for paving the way and protecting our community with courage and compassion. #ThankYouTammie #LPD #WomenInLawEnforcement #LevellandTX
