Sergeant Crystal Sharpe: officer, professor, loyal friend
Sitting in her office, gun holstered and badge in full visibility, Crystal Sharpe, adjunct professor of human service studies, reminisces on the 6-foot wall she put up in her backyard to practice scaling for the physical test at the police academy. "Thank God they took that out of the test," she said. Now a sergeant at the Graham Police Department, Sharpe said she found her true passion in law enforcement. But having such a prestigious title as a woman working in law enforcement is no small feat. "Even as a very small child, she had a very unique personality," said Libby Sharpe, Crystal Sharpe's mother.
