Catrina Bonus on Public Service, Private Sector Lessons, and Advancing Women in Federal Law Enforcement
How do you rise to the top of one of the most elite law enforcement agencies—and then use that platform to uplift others?
In this episode of Fed Time Stories, hosts John Gill and Dave Brant sit down with Catrina Bonus, a trailblazing public safety leader whose 27-year career with the U.S. Secret Service culminated in her becoming the first female Deputy Chief in the history of its Uniformed Division. From securing the White House to mentoring the next generation, Catrina shares how grit, humility, and an unshakable sense of purpose shaped every chapter of her career.
Now serving as President and CEO of Women in Federal Law Enforcement (WIFLE) and as VP of Public Safety at the University of Maryland Medical Center, Catrina reflects on the personal sacrifices, policy battles, and quiet breakthroughs that continue to define her work. She also opens up about her transition to the private sector—and why the “soft skills” honed in government service are more powerful than people realize.
Tune in to hear how one woman broke down barriers, rewrote the playbook, and is still finding new ways to serve.
