@RMontaldo It's the least I can do. The man unknowingly kept me safe for over three years of my tenure in Charlotte.

R.I.P. God bless his Family. I plan on becoming a CMPD Officer after college. and Even tho I did not know him, or am not yet part of CMPD, I still feel a lost.

He was my brother in law. I will make sure my sister, his wife, sees this.
