This week we spotlight Detective Monica Andrade in the Bellaire Police Department.
Detective Andrade has been with the Bellaire Police Department since 2008, starting as a Telecommunications Operator before becoming a peace officer in 2015.
Her dedication and attention to detail led her to the Criminal Investigations Division in 2021 and a DEA Task Force assignment from 2022–2024. She now continues her investigative work, including a cold case from 1985, and shares her expertise through the Bellaire Citizens Police Academy.
We’re proud to recognize her professionalism, persistence, and commitment to justice.
