A native of Cisco, Texas, Bint holds master and instructor certifications from the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement. She attended the West Central Texas Regional Traning Center\u2019s Law Enforcement Academy in Abilene and earned a bachelor\u2019s degree in criminal justice from Tarleton in 2015 while working full-time with the university\u2019s police department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
