Local Sinclair police officer, Tracey Brown was on “The Price Is Right” November 1. While visiting Los Angeles to celebrate her Uncle’s 70 birthday, she and her family decided they were going to try to attend a filming of “The Price Is Right.”
After calling the ticket office early on during the visit, they were unable to receive a response in regards to the ticket availability for shows during their stay. “We decided we would drive downtown from Palm Springs to find out if we could get any tickets,” says Brown. They were told that they were supposed to get tickets online. They told the office that they had already searched online and there were no tickets to be found.
After a discussion, they were given an alternate email address to only find out that there were still no tickets available. The next day, Brown woke up early to realize that they had added another evening show. Due to her mother’s physical difficulties, she called the office and asked for wheelchair assistance with her mother’s situation. They were told they would be able to attend, and were put on an alternate list so they could assist her mother.
The next day they arrived to Los Angeles early to get there before the requested arrival time of 9 a.m. By calling ahead they were able to skip an entire line of people, be escorted to a CBS parking spot and go directly into the studio. “It was fate,” Brown says in regards to the fortunate sequence of events that lead to her appearance. When she got into the studio she was given the seat of 119, which directly corresponds to her unit number, 19.
During the second round of the show, the name Tracey Brown was called. She was chosen to be on the Price Is Right. She raced down to the podium in her Dayton t-shirt and was featured on almost the entire show.
Tracey Brown has been a Sinclair police officer for 16 years. She is a veteran of the United States Navy and a graduate of Meadowdale High School. She has attended multiple colleges in the Dayton and Cincinnati area, including Sinclair, and is currently working on her Master’s degree in Theology at United Theological Seminary.
She says her greatest joy at Sinclair comes from positively impacting people’s lives and serving the community in a beneficial manner. She hopes to graduate in the near future and become a police chaplain in the police force.
