Detective Tamera Brown

I am Officer Tamera Brown, born and raised in Bastrop. I am a graduate of Bastrop High School and received my certification as a paralegal. Years later I wanted a career change. I began that new career in law enforcement in 1997 with the City of Bastrop Police Department. My first position was records clerk for the department. During that time I developed a strong interest in being a police officer. The City of Bastrop paid my tuition through the Capitol Area Law Enforcement Regional Training Academy in 1999. In 2000, I received my certification as a police officer and then commissioned by the Bastrop Police Department. I worked in the patrol division for two years and in August of 2002; I was given the wonderful opportunity to become a school resource officer. I made a lateral move into the school resource officer position and I am currently assigned to the high school campuses.
I am planning with purpose, preparing with prayer, proceeding positively in persistent pursuit of my goals and I am blessed with the strength of God.
