During the summer of 1996, then Master Police Officer (MPO) he testified before the Wilmington City Council on in-service promotion testing, that led the Council to unanimously approve his request that all in-service promotion testing be conducted by an outside agency. His advocacy has changed the command staff of the Wilmington Police Department to look like the community that it serves.
