Tucked away from the limelight that often shines on the streets, Court Specialist Sharon Green has become a cornerstone of the Douglas County Sheriff's Office (DCSO), her commitment evidenced by 16 years of service. The DCSO recently took to social media to tip their hat to Green, sharing a snapshot of the person behind the badge in a manner both transparent and lauding. Fans of DCSO's online presence got a glimpse into Green's life, both the ordinary and the vocational, through their recent #BehindTheBadge feature.
On Facebook, Green's array of pets, her aspiration for invisibility as a superpower, and a predilection for the saccharine notes of Tim McGraw's "Humble and Kind" were shared with the community. The post revealed Halloween is the holiday she cherishes most, and when she's not ensuring the gears of justice spin without interruption, Green finds solace in the sunny embrace of Florida. According to the Douglas County Sheriff's Office Facebook post, "Sharon has been with DCSO for 16 years. During her time, she has been assigned to Detentions, where she worked in Booking, Central Control, and the Housing Units."
But the tenure of a Court Specialist involves far more than administrative tasks and friendly banter over a radio channel. In 2018, Green transitioned to Court Security, a role steeped in the sobriety of oversight and vigilance. Her duties extend to answering phones and radio traffic, controlling doors and intercoms, along with ensuring the safety of the court deputies, a role that, while often unnoticed, upholds the very fabric of courtroom security and order.
