Cheryl
![]() This 26-year-old has no problem slapping cuffs on any suspect - even if it's someone she knows. It's all part of the job for Cheryl since she patrols the Oak Cliff area -- the same neighborhood where she grew up. But the toughest part is when she's called to a murder scene and recognizes the victim's face as someone she knew in her youth. Growing up in a rough, low-income neighborhood gave Cheryl a tough exterior, which has helped in the line of duty. She uses her own life experiences to relate to suspects and "meet them at their level." This hard-working and eager officer joined the police force as a way to help achieve her goal of being in the FBI. But four years later, her dreams seem to be changing. Cheryl loves the department and doesn't want to leave police work behind. Around the department, you'll always see Cheryl smiling and her positive energy is infectious. When she's not on patrol, she's either dominating on the basketball court or putting on a sexy pair of heels and going out with her girlfriends.
