The Windermere Police Department has welcomed a new member to its ranks.
Danyel Hylton is the new police clerk and administrative assistant.
She was raised in Winter Garden and attended West Orange High School. She later graduated with high honors and magna cum laude with an associate’s degree from Seminole State College.
She has always been a very active member of her church and community. She founded a nonprofit organization in 2017 that assists the homeless and impoverished community in the east Winter Garden and downtown Orlando areas.
Hylton is the mother of two adult daughters. When not working, she can almost always be found near a body of water. She enjoys walks by lakes, afternoon boating and trips to the beach.
"Danyel’s humble upbringing and life experiences have cultivated a deep fervor for serving others," WPD Chief David Ogden wrote on a Facebook post. "She lives by core values of honor, integrity and service."
Hylton said she is excited and proud to become part of the WPD and looks forward to serving the residents of the town of Windermere.
Hylton can be reached at (407) 876-3757 or [email protected].
