Maricopa County Police Women
Deputy Amie Duong is described as "organized and even-keeled—qualities that serve her well as she navigates some of the more complicated domestic disputes the county has to offer." She is a single mother of two second-graders.
"Police Women of Maricopa County" features four Maricopa County Sheriff's deputies (from left to right) – Deborah Moyer, Lindsey Smith, Kelly Bocardo and Amie Duong. The show debuted Feb. 25.
As she chases illegal immigrants in the desert and busts drug dealers, Detective Lindsey Smith says she is a "self-proclaimed adrenaline junkie [who] wouldn't have it any other way." She loves being a cop as much as she loves being a single mother of two boys.

Deputy Kelly Bocardo's husband and three brothers also work for the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office. Bocardo is "feisty and tough, but brings a feminine touch to her interaction with some of the county's more colorful characters." She has a 2-year-old daughter.
Detective Deborah Moyer is a veteran with 19 years of experience with the department. Moyer is described as "never one to back away from a challenge, whether hunting down deadbeat dads or negotiating with gunmen." She is married to a fellow deputy and is the mother of two sons.
