Nineteen years ago, Mike Smith attended police academy alongside Joe Grabowski.
Today, as a sergeant for the Dallas Police Department, Smith supervises Officer Deborah Grabowski.
But Joe and Deborah aren’t husband and wife, brother and sister, or father and daughter.
Deborah Grabowski, 42, is the department’s first known transgender officer, having undergone sexual reassignment surgery in May.
But Smith said that for him and others who work with Grabowski out of a substation at Love Field, little has changed.
