"I think growing up just in Ridley Township there were no female cops at all. I went to school for criminal justice and kind of just went that way. I love being a cop," said Cummings.
Cummings' great-grandfather was the mayor of Prospect Park, so service is in her blood.
"My great-grandfather was the mayor...it kind of always pulled me here. Now, I'm happy to be the first full-time police officer," she said.
