City of Zephyrhills

We caught up with?City of Zephyrhills Police Department?Patrol Officer FTO Heather Triplett as she conducted traffic control and ensured road safety along the U.S. 301 corridor. ?? A proud Pasco County native and Zephyrhills High School alum, Officer Triplett has always had a heart for service. She began her career in healthcare as a phlebotomist, but her true calling was in law enforcement. ??♀? After graduating from the Police Academy in 2018, she served five years with the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office before joining ZPD in September 2024. Beyond the badge, Heather is a mother of two who cherishes time with her family. She’s passionate about making a positive impact and keeping the?#cityofzephyrhills?safe!
