Templeton < Staff Writer m ~ From a heyday in 1978, when a black held the city's second highest . position, black progress towards upper management in city government has slowed to a crawl. Blacks head two departments now when they headed three just a year ago, and among many top level black city employees the feeling is that things may not improve much soon. They point to a round of appointments coming up to posts such as the ABC administrator and Convention Center/Coliseum director and economic development ^director, as a test whether blacks will have the opportunity to head city departments. Since Jack Bond left as deputy city manager in 1978 to go to Miami, (he is now city manager of Petersburg, Va.) eight major city positions have been filled. Blacks have been appointed to head two departments with heavily black clienteles, human services, which runs the CETA program, and human relations. New human services director Walter W. "Doc" Farabee was transferred from his post as director of economic development, which remains unfilled and Herman Aldridge was named human relations director. The posts of ABC administrator, community development director, public safety coordinator, city manager, police chief and budget and evaluation director have gone to whites.To replace Bond, personnel director A1 Beaty was named assistant city manager with a smaller scope of responsibilities than Bond had had. Beaty also kept the See Page 3 mwt Mm M R Caldwell McCoy Local Policemen Win Top Honors Sgt. Michael V. McCoy of the City Police Department has been named "Officer of the Year" and elected president of the Old North State Law Enforcement Officer's Association during its meeting in Greensboro. t~\rr: i?i i 11 ~r . u ~ *.. _ ~i: WI I KCl JUIIIl L. \>.<tiuwcil Ul IMC my puiicc was elected state secretary during the conference June 12-15. McCoy, a six-year veteran assigned to the internal affairs section, has served as president of the city/county chapter of the association for the past three years. Officer Caldwell is a 12-year veteran of the force. The North State Law Enforcement Officers Association was founded in 1952 by 80 black policemen from various agencies throughout the state. Capt. J.A. Landon and the late Cpl. Joe Gwynn of city police were among the founders. Association objectives are to advance the science and art of police administration and crime prevention; exchange information; seek laws to prevent ' crime and promote police efficiency; and elevate the image of law enforcement officers. During the 28th annual retraining conference in Greensboro, outgoing president Capt. Trevor A. Hampton of the Greensboro Police Department presided over a session which included workshops on domestic violence, leadership and promotional techniques. New president McCoy said his main priority will be recruiting. "Only half the black officers in our department arc members." Locally, the chapter will continue an emphasis on community service projects such as the annual C hristmas for the needy project and taking underprivileged youth to WSSU football games. McCoy said he also hopes to have member officers work free at the games and donate what would have been paid them to the WSSU athletic fund. ittwwHHiHitmtinmwwiHMmwwHtMMHimmmnHwmMHWMwwimmtmtwniNMww "Serving the Winston-Salem C 7l"?
