#AAPI TRAILBLAZER: Sergeant Stephen Stroder
With family from Tokyo, Japan, Sergeant Stephen Stroder of the North Patrol Division of the Kansas City, Missouri Police Department speaks some Japanese, and taught English in Japan for three and one-half years. Stephen is proud of his Japanese heritage. He has a degree in history from UMKC, is the father of three grown daughters, and has served in the military. (Although, he’ll tell anyone that his hardest job was being a stay-at-home dad!) Having always been interested in being an officer, he answered an ad for the position, and has now served in the role for the last 20 years. He loves interacting with people and helping them solve problems. The metro is lucky to have Stephen as a public servant!
