History was made in Novato as Chief Beth Johnson became the first female to take over as the top cop in the city, on Tuesday.

Chief Johnson said it was in her DNA to be a police officer. Her father is a retired captain from the Walnut Creek Police Department but she never thought she would actually follow in her father's footsteps.

It was a proud moment, as her husband and son watched Beth Johnson be sworn in as the 12th police chief in the City of Novato.
