In addition to her day-to-day duties, Otis is responsible for coordinating and scheduling the Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) grant overtime. She also prepares documents that allow the captain to analyze and combat crime.
During the month of November, Otis coordinated a Thanksgiving luncheon for members of the Second Precinct. After serving the officers, she made time to personally serve her community.
