Talk about New York\u2019s Finest.<\/p>\n
Samantha Sepulveda is a local police officer who doubles as a lingerie and swimsuit model \u2014 and her sexy poses have garnered more than 110,000 followers on her <\/span>@sammysep<\/a> <\/span>Instagram page.<\/p>\n Sepulveda, 32, is only 5-foot-2 but deceptively tough. She\u2019s a fitness fanatic who wields her femininity more effectively than a firearm.<\/p>\n \u201cI talk men into handcuffs all the time because they don\u2019t want to fight me,\u201d she told The Post.<\/p>\n She joined the force in 2010. About three years later, a friend who worked for a lingerie and swimsuit company invited her to model in a runway fashion show \u2014 and launched her new career.<\/p>\n Sepulveda refused to name her police department to avoid any notoriety, but a New York government Web site identifies her as an officer in Freeport, LI, making $143,000 last year.<\/p>\n A woman cop can be less intimidating to bad guys, Sepulveda said. \u201cWith a female officer, their guard is lowered. There\u2019s less aggression and the situation is defused.\u201d<\/p>\n When on duty, she works makeup-free with her hair pulled back in a bun and a uniform covering her curves. \u201cI try to look as masculine as possible,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n
