I also assumed she was white, and as she's blurred out to protect her identity, it's hard to tell. But there's a moment, at 1:57, where the film transitions from a closeup of his star-spangled pen writing the citation to him handing her the ticket where her hand is not blurred. It does look like Black skin.

This makes sense why she'd start off out of the gate with, "You want to murder me." And also with her going on with "You'll never be white," as that is a fairly common critique of cops of color, that they're trying to assimilate to white culture but will never be able to attain it because white culture will never accept them as true equals.
