It’s not hard to spot the office of Chief Martine Materasso, the first woman to lead the NYPD’s Bureau of Counterterrorism. It’s the one with Wonder Woman collectibles.
“When I was assigned to the 41st Precinct, a couple of the officers said, basically, ‘You’re our Wonder Woman.’ And they began to leave me little gifts,” said Materasso.
The collection has grown as the Bronx-born officer rose through the ranks from police officer to commanding officer, with promotions to detective, sergeant, lieutenant and captain along the way.
