In the years following, Judith rose to the position of squad leader in dispatch while simultaneously serving as an auxiliary deputy volunteer. After 10 years on the force she became a full time deputy and field officer on road patrol dealing with many different types of crimes while keeping Central Florida safe. In addition to her other duties, during her tenure as a Sheriff, Judith volunteered her time to D.A.R.E., drug abuse resistance education. She taught children from preschool through fifth-grade level that police officers are not only community servants who are there to help and protect them, but are human beings with their own unique families and interests.

Upon graduation from Columbia she enrolled part time at Barry University School of Law also in Orlando, Florida.
