The Freeport Police Department now has its first Black assistant chief in the department's history.
"It's emotional to me because I never expected it ... I'm proud, I'm proud of the occasion, I'm proud to be able to represent," says Assistant Chief Michael Williams.
Kennedy added, "It's a younger crowd that's in here now, a lot of the seniors are beginning to retire, so you bring in newer, younger people in too." Sgt. Fredis Pereira said, "I know a lot of the kids that now see another Latino officer, you know I was born in El Salvador, so I came here in '84, so I think it will show them that they could do it, too."
