For the past seven years, Officer Fields has worked as a “be on the lookout” (BOLO) specialist, meaning that Fields is on patrol looking for people that the police are searching for, according to NBC4 Washington. However, while most people might need to spend time looking through multiple pictures to know who they’re looking for, because of her photographic memory, Fields only has to see one picture of a suspect before she can spot them out in the wild.
In fact, Officer Fields’ skill is so recognized that she has been given the titles of “Queen of BOLOs” and “BOLO Hunter” by colleagues who are in awe of her incredible memory, according to a CBS-affiliated news channel, WUSA-9.
Fields’ photographic memory has made her a very valuable officer in her department, as she has conducted more than 1,000 BOLO stops in her career, according to ABC7 News. Fields’ boss, Assistant Chief Officer Stephen Boehm, trusts her skill so much that he told ABC7 News he’ll allow her to take the lead when she believes she has spotted a suspect.
“I’ve learned if she says it’s somebody she wants to stop, go ahead and let her take the lead and back her up.”
While speaking with WUSA-9, Fields called her photographic memory a gift, and even compared this superpower to the psychic powers of the iconic Disney Channel show “That’s So Raven.”
“I have like a “That’s So Raven” moment, and it’s like a pause, like I’m having a vision… It only takes a few seconds, and once I lock your face in the BOLO memory, it’s locked in,” she said.
Though Fields has had this ability ever since she was a child, she told WUSA-9 that she never believed it could be turned into a career. However, her photographic memory has led her to assist in arrests for the Metropolitan Police Department and the U.S. Marshal’s Service, according to NBC4 Washington.
Now, Fields is letting suspects know that she is on the lookout and will find them soon enough.
“I want the bad guys and the bad girls to know…I will find you. But I will also treat you with respect as well as a human,” Fields said in an interview with NBC4 Washington.
