Alice J. Muniz
Alice J. Muniz is the president of the New York City Police Department’s Gay Officers Action League. GOAL serves as both an advocacy group for LGBT officers and as a line of communication between the Police Department and the LGBT community in general. A member of the police force since 1995, Muniz was promoted to Detective in 2006. She fought to secure benefits for her daughter after she realized her new union did not cover the children of domestic partners, a policy that was changed in 2007 thanks to her efforts. She says, “I will continue to give myself tirelessly to the LGBT community. I do what I do, not for myself, but for those who cannot. At the end of the day when I go home, I realize I love my job, it allows me to be who I am, and help others. What more can I ask for?” -CB
