Former WJLA reporter Jennifer Donelan has moved to the other side of the police line, joining the Prince George’s County Police Department as lead spokesperson.
The Washington Post reports Donelan, who most recently served as an investigative crime reporter for the DC ABC affiliate, was announced in her new role Monday.
Donelan left WJLA over the summer after ten years, after working at CBS NewsPath and WDIV. At one point, she told the story of her own heart attack at age 36.
