She helps people shop online for non-toxic products for their homes.

ABOUT SCOTT & LIZ

On October 24, 2014, Scott was involved in a several-hour and highly publicized shooting that claimed the life of their friend and partner, Danny Oliver, and several hours later, Detective Michael Davis. That incident proves to be a pivotal moment for Scott and his wife, Liz.

They have spent the last several years healing and helping others, and it hasn’t been easy. The Greater Sacramento law enforcement community has been through tragedy after tragedy, and the Browns have been there for others. Liz is usually organizing events to encourage and serve those affected by each incident, the largest being the Blue Line Christmas Relief Event for the over 150 law enforcement families who lost their homes in the Camp Fire. She was awarded a Chief’s Commendation for her incredible work.

Liz and Scott are now speaking about their story and what they’ve learned, both apart and together. Concerns for Police Survivors has e been instrumental in their healing, and they are now speaking for the organization.

In their free time, they love movie nights as a family. Watching their boys play soccer, baseball & football. They enjoy camping, fishing & being outdoors! Family time is truly the best time.

They all love to travel & experience new things. Their happy place is near the ocean. Scott & Liz can’t wait to pass their love of scuba diving on to their boys!

“A Gripping True Story!”

 

On October 24th, 2014, evil came to Sacramento, California with methamphetamine in his veins, and whispers of murder in his thoughts. He and his wife engaged in a several-hour Bonnie and Clyde-like crime spree, killing two deputies and wounding a third deputy and a civilian. More victims and witnesses were terrorized as a several-hour manhunt ensued, locking down schools and neighborhoods. The effects of chaos reverberated throughout the region until the couple was taken into custody.

But it was only the beginning of a long journey through loss, grief, post-traumatic stress, and a painful trial. For years afterward, this evil spread to torment the souls of many more officers, claiming marriages, careers, and peace of mind.

This is the true story of Sacramento Sheriff Deputy Scott Brown, the first to face this evil and survive.
