Abandoned by her birth mother at the age of two, Charlie Alejandro was raised in a dysfunctional poverty stricken family. In order to escape her abusive home, Alejandro got married as a very young teen and was mother to three boys before age twenty. In her quest to overcome her upbringing she strived to further her education by receiving her GED, obtaining her medical assistant certification and becoming a Mass. Metropolitan Police officer.
While a "Met" she became the first female on a Special Operations Unit in the State of Mass. in the mid-eighties. Ms. Alejandro went on to spend 6 years on the Tac team, as well as a Drill instructor and speaker on the department's speaker's bureau. After her department merged with the Mass. State Police, she became an alternate on the STOP team, and was hand picked to work on the intervention team when the city of Chelsea went into state receivership and was taken over by the State Police. Ms. Alejandro went on to become a homicide detective, undercover officer, attached to work with DEA, ATF, ICE as well as various other agencies.
Alejandro was forced to take an early retirement from the state police after she re-married and became mom to a blended family of 8 kids, as well as being diagnosed with several chronic illnesses.
