Not just any kind of officer, Ruby's rallying for more engaged officers and says she's not afraid to take a stand on tough issues.
In the past Ruby has taken on City Hall and forced the city to refund millions in overpaid parking tickets. She's known for questioning shady contracts and exposing what she calls "a broken system."
