Susan Pamerleau

(Born in 1946) currently serves as the 33rd United States marshal for the Western District of Texas, having been sworn in September 17, 2018. Pamerleau is another breaker of historic barriers—prior to becoming marshal, she was the first female sheriff of Bexar County, Texas. Although, if you speak with her, that distinction is less noteworthy. In an interview with San Antonia Express-News, she said “My name’s Susan. I’m a woman. That’s it.” She’d rather be recognized for her qualifications than her gender. Moving forward with that vein of credentials, Pamerleau’s longest service was 32 years in the United States Air Force, retiring at the rank of Major General. Her trailblazing roles in security, justice, and defense make her a remarkable figure.
