Sheriff Brown is the first African-American Sheriff in Dallas County and one of only five African-American female sheriffs in the United States.

Each school had an assigned officer to interact with students and emphasize the character trait each week.) Sheriff Brown is known throughout the law enforcement community for her role as a law enforcement trainer/anchor on the Law Enforcement Television Network (LETN), an international law enforcement satellite network based in Carrollton, Texas. Sheriff Brown worked with LETN for ten years, while continuing her service with the Duncanville Police Department. In 1997, Brown was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant.
