Everything a Cop Should Be
Samantha was the perfect example of what a police officer should be. She graduated from the University of Massachusetts and achieved a distinction in her management degree. She then went on to study an MBA in finance. However, things quickly changed.
Everything A Cop Should Be
Her Hidden Agenda
Samantha wanted to become a cop, or so everyone thought. However, no-one knew about the second life that Samantha had been pushed to go after. This double life was a shocking revelation, and the public had much to say about the police officer’s hidden agenda.
Her Hidden Agenda
Who Is She?
Samantha Sepulveda was born in 1984 in the Dominican Republic. However, she didn’t stay there long and instead moved to the United States at the age of five. She made a move to the US with her mother and sister.
Who Is She
Why America?
Samantha’s mother relocated her family to America for a good reason. She had a job in an American factory, and she also believed that living in America would provide more opportunities for her daughters’ education, and better and easier lifestyles.
Why America?
Young Samantha
Almost immediately, Samantha showed incredible athletic abilities. She was passionate about sports, and coupled with her natural talent, earned her attention. Her talent was so admired that she was offered a scholarship playing lacrosse for the University of Massachusetts. At the time, her second life hadn’t begun yet.

University Life
Samantha went on to earn a bachelor’s degree from UMass, but that wasn’t the end of her studies. After receiving her bachelor’s degree, she enrolled herself at Hofstra University, where she received a master’s degree. Yet, she ended up in a career that didn’t use any of these degrees.
University Life
A Need to Serve
Although she had a vast knowledge of business, Samantha shifted to a completely different career choice. In 2017, she told the New York Post that she wanted to help people. She felt that she could do that as a civil servant over an employee in Wall Street.
A Need To Serve
An Odd Choice
Many people found Samantha’s new career choice to be odd. It wasn’t just the fact that she has studied finance and business. It was also that she didn’t have the traditional stature that you’d expect a police officer to have.
An Odd Choice
A Different Kind of Police Officer
Unlike most police officers, Samantha is rather small, and she stood at a mere five feet and two inches. This short height could have intimidated anyone when they were set against tall, muscular men, but it didn’t bother her that much.

Her Journey to Becoming a Cop

Being a Female Officer
Samantha also states that, as a woman, she finds it easier to soften the criminals who she deals with on a daily basis. She goes on to claim that the criminals’ guards are down when they are dealing with a female. The situation is able to be defused as there’s less aggression.
Being A Female Officer
Looking as Masculine as Possible
Sepulveda is like any other individual in the force. She wears the traditional uniform with her hair pulled back into a simple bun and rocks a make-up free look. This attire makes her look as masculine as possible, which is precisely what she wants.
Looking As Masculine As Possible
Attracting Attention
She often faced jokes from people she interacted with and arrested. Many of the criminals she arrested were reported to say that she could arrest them anytime. She had even had a suspect stop in the middle of his getaway when he saw the office who was chasing him.

Samantha told the New York Post that she and her partner were running after a man who had assaulted the cops after assaulting his wife. However, the man quickly stopped running away after seeing Samantha and even asked her on a date.

Relying on Her Looks
Her appearance was a weapon to Samantha. She found it possible to subdue any persons of interest with her looks than pulling out a weapon. She stated that she could talk men into handcuffs, which is a great skill, but what did the other cops think about it?
Relying On Her Looks
Didn’t Fly Under the Radar
Those who worked with Samantha treated her with respect. However, her beauty didn’t go unnoticed. This noticed beauty drove Samantha to launch her second career and a double life. However, it wasn’t uncommon for cops to have a second career, but what was this career?
Didn’t Fly Under The Radar
Not an Ordinary Second Job
Although it was common for cops to pursue a second career, these careers were seen as more traditional. Ordinary jobs that police officers partake in include electricians, plumbers, or doing some kind of trade work. Yet, Samantha took a completely different career choice.
Not An Ordinary Second Job
Turning Heads
Heads turned when co-workers found out what Samantha’s second life and career was. Her side hustle had little to do with business, finance, or the skills she had learned from being on the police force. This career was centered on her looks.
Turning Heads
How Did This Happen?
Many people questioned how a cop could come across, gaining this kind of second job. Well, it was a friend’s suggestion that was made three years after Samantha initially started work with the police force. What was this second career?
How Did This Happen

Samantha wasn’t just praised as a model police officer, but her friend suggested that she could be a great lingerie model. That’s where it all started. Since then, Samantha’s modeling career has skyrocketed to places such as England, Australia, Nicaragua, and Spain.

Being Recognized

Being Recognized
Still the Same
The police officers that work alongside Samantha barely notice the model cop’s fame. It was business as usual once the force found out about her second career. Everyone remains to treat her the same way, which only makes her respect her co-workers even more.
Still The Same
Being Comfortable
Although Samantha has a modeling job requiring her to wear tons of lingerie, and she indeed owns her own pairs, she claims that she barely wears these clothing items when she’s not working. She admitted to wearing an oversized t-shirt to sleep in instead.
Being Comfortable

Her Exes
Helping the World
The hopes of the model include combining her incredible social media platform, business knowledge, and police sensibilities to make the world a better place. She even has an idea in development to help build sustainable energy plants within the region of Thailand.
Helping The World
Living More Traditionally
Among these hopes, Samantha also wishes to start living a more traditional life. She would like more bridal modeling gigs because she feels she wants to represent how she’s feeling. Although Samantha has professed that she is ready to settle down.
Living More Traditionally
Out of Character
The concept of Samantha settling down seems out of character, seeing as she’s pursuing two very demanding careers. Not only this, but she also appears to be gaining more and more achievements as both a model and police officer, as she’s still the number one summons issuer.
Out Of Character
The Article
It’s safe to say that Samantha’s life completely changed when the article in the New York Post was published, revealing to the world that she worked as both a cop and a glamour model. Her social media accounts follower counts doubled, and as of now, she has more than 400,000 followers.
The Article
Her Co-Workers
With that kind of fame, many worried that Samantha’s co-workers would not understand or even feel resentful towards her after the article came out. How did her fellow squad members respond to her other career?
Her Co Workers
Full Support
Luckily, Samantha’s co-workers were very supportive of her other career as a model. In fact, most of them were actually even aware of this face long before the article came out. Before the New York Post article, she had already been modeling for about three years.
Full Support
Some Dissent
While a large majority of her co-workers were completely supportive, Samantha is aware that, as she said, “mostly older officers” may have had less than kind remarks about her other job. She assumes that any comments they may make will be “behind my back, sure.”
Some Dissent
Not Revealing
Samantha was worried about any negativity that may head towards the police department after making the announcement in the New York Post article. For that reason, she chose to not name which department she was working at.
Not Revealing
Found Out
Even though Samantha took steps to protect her police department’s anonymity, anything on the Internet is bound to get out to the public eventually. A New York government website showed that she was working as a cop in Freeport, Long Island, earning $143,000 in the year 2016.
Found Out
Mayor Of Freeport
Robert Kennedy, Mayor of Freeport has shown his support for Sepulveda’s two jobs. He said she is a “well-respected” officer. He also said: “Samantha appropriately executes her responsibilities as a law enforcement officer and is well-respected by the community and peers. Many police officers have legal businesses and Officer Sepulveda is entitled to the same opportunity.”

Her Response
With such a kind and supportive response, eventually Samantha was made aware of the mayor’s comments about her. So what was her response to those comments? When asked, Sepulveda said: “Wow, he’s a rock star.”
Her Response
Unfair Double Standard
Despite her success and support from her team, unfortunately there are still who criticize her choice of a second career. Many male officers double up as plumbers or electrical workers and are not criticized. Samantha has said: “I’ve been under the microscope since I started.”
Unfair Double Standard
Why A Cop?
Other people still questioned why she wants to work as a cop at all, why not pursue her finance degrees or just work as model instead? Samantha said: “It sounds corny, but which career could I help people more in — money-driven Wall Street or civil service where you’re protecting people?”
Why A Cop?
Continued Success
Not only were most people very receptive to the news, the New York Post article seemed to have opened up other opportunities for Samantha. In fact, in 2017 she appeared in a pictorial feature in Maxim magazine.
Continued Success
Her Opportunities
Since starting out modeling, Samantha has worked in England, Australia, Spain, and also Nicaragua. The fact of the matter is, many modeling jobs allow for travel abroad and exciting opportunities, unlike her job in law enforcement.
Her Opportunities
Life As A Cop
Working as a police officer is no walk in the park. She has shared that working as a Freeport officer means working 12 hour days about 15 days of every month. So when does she find the time to model? She balances her two jobs by modeling on her days off from law enforcement.
Life As A Cop
Balancing The Two
Most people believe having one full-time job is enough and that they would not be able to handle a second, even part-time job. Many have asked Sepulveda if she would ever consider leaving her job as a police officer to pursue modeling full time. So what does she say?
Balancing The Two
Not Going Anywhere
When asked if she would abandon her role as a cop, Sepulveda said: “I wouldn’t leave my police job for it. It’s fun. What girl doesn’t want to dress up and look pretty? But it’s not as fulfilling as saving lives and impacting people on a personal level. I like that I can do both.”
Not Going Anywhere
Giving Back
One of Samantha’s defining features is that she values giving back to her community and serving the people. This is one of the main reason she chose to pursue a job in law enforcement and to stay in the field even though she is a successful model. She has also done a lot in her own community.
Giving Back
Dream Prom Boutique
In 2019, Samantha participated in an initiative called “Dream Prom Boutique” that helped students in need by providing free and beautiful outfits for their high school prom, the very same high school Samantha graduated from herself.

What everyone was absolutely dying to know, with two successful careers, a kind heart, and beautiful looks, how could Samantha possibly not be taken? Well, it appears that Samantha does not speak about her personal life in interviews. However, her Instagram tells a different story.

The Mystery Man
While she never names him on her profile, it would appear that Samantha is off the market and very much in love with her man. The equally model-esque man seems to make her happy, and that should make all of Samantha’s supporters happy as well.
