Public Safety Director Quovella Spruill said during a December 8 “Tuesday Night Talk” on Facebook that the department is “making history, because we have not had an African-American lieutenant since 1991, and we are promoting two this month,” referring to Lacewell and Fredericks.

The department has also hired eight new officers in the past two months, Spruill said, “so if you see them out and about, they look spanking new, say hello to them.”
