On Thursday, the Bre Workout Challenge was held in her honor – an event celebrating Leath s career and sacrifice.
Leath arrived at the IMPD Training Academy determined to become a police officer. Officer Babs Diouf was her field training officer.
“She was my rookie,” Diouf said. “She was a fun young lady, shining. She would come in the room and just lit up the room.”
