Her Story
Tracy Harrison served in the Marine Corps for eight years, some active duty and some reserve time. Her time in the military shaped her work ethic as well as her career trajectory. “I had a variety of jobs ranging from financial management and embassy duty to combat weapons instructor. In each role I grew as an individual and learned a lot about leadership, training and teamwork,” Harrison says.
After her military service, Harrison pursued a bachelor’s degree and joined a sheriff’s department in West Virginia, beginning her law enforcement career on patrols and later moving on to sexual assault and child abuse investigations, then narcotics. After becoming a detective, she worked on high-profile cases until 2013, when she moved to the Houston area. Read More.
