The unit investigates reports of animal abuse and can charge individuals who mistreat animals with crimes.
Wilson began her career in animal welfare in 1998 at the Humane Society of Washington County in Hagerstown, Md., where she established a behavior hotline to provide a resource for pet owners.
In 2001, Wilson moved to the Women's Humane Society in Bucks County, as a humane educator. She became a Humane Society police officer in 2003 before moving to the Delaware County SPCA to run shelter operations. In 2009, Wilson joined the PSPCA's Humane Law Enforcement team as a case manager before moving into a supervisory role.
