Officer: 13 years; homicide detective: eight years
At only 37 years old, Detective Christine Mannina, formerly Minka, is one of the youngest homicide detectives in the field. With homicide, she feels as though she is working for the deceased to bring some sort of peace and closure to the victim's family. Detective Mannina enjoys the profession because she likes to be challenged on a daily basis; she wants to catch those criminals she considers to be the worst, murderers, and put them behind bars. Detective Mannina has been honored with several awards and citations, including Detective of the Year, Detective of the Month and, just recently, the Medal of Merit.
