Last night I was impressed by a news clip on my local tv station WAND. Reporter Scot England featured Debbie Harrison on his weekly report. Debbie was recently appointed the first woman sheriff’s deputy in Shelby County, Illinois. Debbie herself was inspired to become an officer when she saw another female officer out directing traffic for the police department. Debbie is active in educating students and is often found in the schools, hopefully inspiring other girls to follow in her footsteps with a career in law enforcement. You can read more about Debbie in the Shelbyville Daily Unionwhere she admits “I was the first female officer for the City of Rochelle and Ogle County as well.”
Intrigued by Debbie’s story, I went to work on a Sheriff design which I have just added to the Girls Can’t What? shop. The design comes in dark and light skin tones on a variety of gift and apparel items. Makes a great gift for deputies of all ages! You can get any design personalized before you order – just look for the “Customize It” button.
Girls Can’t WHAT? Sheriff Gifts!

I am the health teacher that Debbie worked with during her DARE program. The students just loved her and they are still talking about her. I had a blast during the three weeks that we were together. I have 2 daughters and my wish for them is that they will know that they can do anything that they want.

Yeah it sure sounds that way. I’m tellin’ ya – her interview was what grabbed my attention. I just clicked with her personality, I guess. :)
So anyone else out there want a T-shirt? I’m taking nominations…give me some idea and role model…

Debbie’s attitude brings alot of humor to us at the Sheriff’s Office we all like her as if we have known her forever.

OK. So, it’s pretty obvious that Debbie’s cool – she certainly deserves a T-shirt design! :)
