Christine Lynn O'Kane resigned from the El Paso Police Department to take care of her ailing mother. She had a good service record, and her work file included a recommendation that she be reinstated if she reapplied in the future. But when O'Kane reapplied with the department, she found it no longer supported her reinstatement. The problem was the way El Paso officer Christine Lynn O'Kane's name appeared on her identification tag and e-mails: C. O'KANE. Police management cited the "inappropriate" use of her name as the basis for their denial. O'Kane appealed her case to the Civil Service Commission, and the commission supported her position. She was rehired and now works as a police officer in El Paso's Lower Valley. Since being rehired, O'Kane switched to her maiden name, Whitaker.
