"The best way to protect our boys from the system, is to keep them out of the system..."
When I was 16 years old, I met Lt. Darring Hicks with the Columbia Police Department, SC. I was at a crossroad in my life. My life was headed for certain destruction. I had dropped out of school and was being raised by a single mother with an absent father. Lt. Hicks inspired me so much that I realized that I wanted to do something positive with my life. I wanted to become a police officer, just like him!
With this goal in mind, I went back to school, got a job as a security officer and at the age of 21 became a Deputy Sheriff with the Richland County Sheriff's Department. My law enforcement career has lasted 27 years and I have been extremely blessed and fortunate to still be here!
Throughout my career, I have served in many different positions from Field Training Officer to Chief of Police. My number one goal has always been to help others.
Along the way, I realized that none of this would have been possible with out my “Big Brother in Blue”, Darring Hicks. With that being said, I have decided to pay it forward and launch a nonprofit organization that will use police officers to mentor at-risk boys and young men ages 8 and up, named, “Big Brothers in Blue”. I will be looking to partner with law enforcement agencies and businesses locally, and nationally to help rescue this generation of young men with absent fathers that are headed towards destruction like I was.
