She said: "You train for the unexpected. You train for the worst and hope for the best in any situation. Talking to people. I can talk to anyone, talk people down."
Her pageant persona is far removed from her persona on the beat, Shannon said.
Students at Katy Independent School in Texas, where Shannon works, simply know her as Officer Dresser, and had no idea about her other life.
She said: "When they know me as Officer Dresser and they see me out there sweating and running and taking care of everything that when they find out I have an outside part of me that's really girly, they're usually blown away."
Shannon is involved in multiple programmes to help mentor young people and bridge the gap between police and the public.
She also teaches students to be true to themselves to achieve what they want in life.
She said: "I'm really glad I can have those two worlds because I really think it does mold me and ground me, because it lets me be who I am.
"You can do anything that you want to do. I'm not just Officer Dresser and I'm not just Miss Katy. I'm both. I'm Shannon.”
