From the farm to the executive office of the 100 club of Arizona
Angela Herrolle has made service the cornerstone of her life. A want to travel
and explore the world, lead her on a journey away from the family farm in Minnesota
and down a path that introduced excitement, love, family, tragedy and grief. This
journey has woven her life into the tapestry of Public Safety family in Arizona
and landed her in the office of the 100 Club of Arizona – whose purpose is to
support the families of the men and women standing behind the badge. In episode
66 we discussed this journey, and much more, give it a listen and enjoy.
A little about our guest…
I was raised in rural
Minnesota and I strived to see the world. This vision led me to Arizona State
University where I obtained my B.S. in Justice Studies and Business in 1997. I
was then able to obtain a position with the U.S. Department of State, Diplomatic
Security Service as a Special Agent where I completed domestic and
international investigations related to visa and passport fraud. During this
time I was also assigned to the United States Secretary of State’s executive
protection detail where I traveled to 34+ countries and later became the Asst.
Regional Security Officer for the U.S. Embassies in Chile, Haiti and Mexico.
I came to be the CEO of The 100 Club of Arizona in
an unconventional way. After meeting my husband, Bruce Harrolle and having a child
I resigned from my position as a Special Agent and moved into a position as a
contract Special Investigator to provide more stability for our growing family.
Bruce worked as a police officer and paramedic for the Arizona Department of
Public Safety while I opened FedRealty, a real estate brokerage that focuses on
the residential relocation of government employees.
Life took an unexpected turn in October 2008 when
my husband and father to my two young children was killed in the line of duty.
I then worked closely alongside the Arizona Department of Public Safety on
“Harrolle’s Law”, this law provides surviving families with lifetime health
insurance benefits following a line of duty death.
I later became the CEO of The 100 Club of Arizona,
a non-profit organization that provides statewide assistance for public safety
agencies, officers, firefighters, EMT/Paramedics and their families. As a
501(c)(3), the 100 Club of Arizona is dedicated to standing behind the men and
women who stand behind the badge. I also continue my aforementioned work in
addition to being a partner in several local restaurant concepts such as CHoP
Chandler, The Living Room, and Humble Pie at La Encantada.
