In her Garden Street office last Friday, select memorabilia from her career sat on the floor, ready for hanging.

One of the pictures is a photograph of McCaul and John Walsh, the host of Fox TV's America's Most Wanted, taken while she was working with the corrections department.

"We used that show a number of times successfully," she remembers.

McCaul has been honored for police work. She received a letter of commendation from the director of the FBI, Louis E. Freeh, for her help in an investigation of a 1994 New Hampshire armored car robbery.

McCaul earned a bachelor's degree in psychology from Eastern Connecticut University and then joined the University of Connecticut's police force as a patrol officer.
