This NYPD detective had a secret: Her past

Katrina Cooke Brownlee was spending another night out on the streets of New York City. This is what she wanted and what she trained for. Katrina was an undercover NYPD police officer. But the drug dealers and pimps she interacted with – and secretly recorded – didn't know that. Neither did the prostitutes that Katrina, in disguise, met on the streets.

While undercover posing as a prostitute, Katrina's mission was to arrest pimps and those soliciting prostitution. However, she quickly felt a connection with the women she encountered.

"Being out there in the streets, doing undercover work with the young ladies, you learn that everybody has a story and everybody's story is different," says Katrina. "But everybody come[s] from the same pain."
