"Chief Paris hired me in 2001 but was a mentor of mine since 1995. Chief encouraged me to get a degree and then apply to the Greenville Police Department. He was a man of integrity, high morals, and most importantly a man that loved his family and followed his Christian values. Thank you for the opportunity you gave me to serve my community and I pray that I continue to make you proud as you rest with our Heavenly Father.
