created this poster on a computer using a combination of photo and digital
art design. The poster depicts people making a heart with their hands around
a teal ribbon.

“What inspired me, as a SHARP victim advocate, I feel the most important thing

The posters were displayed throughout the month of April at various SAAPM events.

Brown said she is proud to support SAAPM by wearing a teal badge. As a police
officer, Brown has led several efforts to engage with the community, like organizing
the annual installation back-to-school backpack drive.

“I love that they put the information out [about SHARP] because a lot of people
are not aware,” she said. “People ask about why we wear the teal badges and ask
about the teal ribbons by the Harford Gate; we make sure all the police officers
know why we are wearing them.”
