In 1997 Ann made history as she became the first female to represent the USMC in amateur boxing.  In 1999 she became the U.S. Women’s National Champion in her weight division and was ranked #1 in the country.

As a Sergeant, Ann attended Leadership Training at the Marine Corps Institute, served as a Criminal Investigator and a Field Training Officer, receiving multiple meritorious awards for superior achievement and performance.

On October 26, 2013, during a vehicle stop, Officer Carrizales found herself in a gunfight for her life.  Shot in the face and chest, Ann was not going to quit.  Ann shares her story with us in our Female Enforcers course and has become a role model and inspiration to Law Enforcement Officers throughout the country.
