She won first place and a lovely plaque in the national "Ladies of Laughter Comedy Competition." Amy Branched out into movies, theater and TV/radio voice-overs. After a gig as a cop in the Eddie Murphy film "Metro," she decided it was time to follow her life-long interest in a career in the field of law enforcement, and in 1999, Amy became a Bay Area police officer.
