Luthcke was invited to Bravo's "Watch What Happens Live" in honor of National Policewoman's Day on Sept. 12, host Andy Cohen said.

"WWHL," which began as a web series, airs five nights a week -- and at one point reached 3.5 million viewers.
Shot in Manhattan, it aims for a cocktail-lounge feel, offering its guests drinks (Oprah once had a vodka soda) to loosen them up for questions they haven't been prepared for. There are also drinking games for viewers.
Sponsored by 7-Up, the bar has been tended by, among others, Rod Stewart, Kelly Ripa and Jon Bon Jovi's son, Jessie Bongiovi.
The guest barkeeps don't actually make drinks -- it would make too much noise in the tiny "clubhouse." The job is handled by a crew member (aka production assistant) during commercials.
Luthcke was sworn in as Ridgewood's first female police chief in July 2016 -- one of only two in Bergen County. Bergenfield's Cathy Madalone is the other.

"Have you dealt with a lot of stupid criminals?" Cohen asked her on the show.
Luthcke smiled.
"If there weren't stupid criminals," she said, "I wouldn't have a job."
