Thompson named assistant police chief
BY TEVW STINSON
THE CHRONICLE
The city of Winston
Salem has a new assistant
police chief.
After 22 years of hard
work and dedication to the
police department, Catrina
Thompson assumed her
duties on Monday, Jan. 4
and was honored during a
promotion ceremony held
last Friday.
"I will still be out
there," said Thompson.
The wife and mother of
two said she is excited and
honored to serve the citi
zens as assistant chief.
Before being presented
to her peers and family
members by Chief
Rountree at the ceremony,
Thompson told The
Chronicle, "I truly feel
blessed to work with some
of the most professional
law enforcement officers in
the nation."
During her tenure with
the WSPD, Thompson has
served in the Patrol
Division, Recruiting,
Training Division, and
Criminal Investigations
Division. As assistant chief
Thompson will oversee the
Investigative Services
Bureau, which includes the
Criminal Investigation
Division and Special
Investigations Division.
"As captain I was over
the Criminal Investigation
Division," she said. "But as
chief I will oversee two
divisions instead of just
one."
Thompson also serves
as the president of the
Mental Health Association
of Forsyth County and is a
member of Leadership
Winston-Salem Class of
2016.
While making her way
up the ranks of the depart
ment and balancing a busy
schedule, Thompson has
been a familiar presence at
community meetings held
throughout the city. On
multiple occasions she lias
mentioned that the police
can't do their jobs without
the help of the community.
"We have to work
together," she said. "That's
why I try to communicate
with the people in the com
munity as much as possible
- to build that relationship."
Although her duties
have changed the newly
appointed assistant chief
said she will continue to
attend community meet
ings when she can and
encourage other officers to
do so as well.
"My main concern is
always the safety and well
being of our community,"
said Thompson. "I hold a
different title, but my role
is still to make sure we are
working together to make
this city a safe place for
everyone."

Forsyth Tech vice president attends national leadership institute
SPECIAL TO THE
CHRONICLE
Jewel Cherry, Forsyth
Tech's vice president for
Student Services, was
recently selected by a
national review panel to
attend the Executive
Leadership Institute (ELI)
sponsored by the League
for Innovation in the
Community College.
Cherry was one of only 36
senior-level community
college leaders across the
U.S. invited to participate
this year.
The institute, which
was held in Phoenix, AZ in
mid-December, provided
an opportunity for potential
community college presi
dents or those in transition
to review their abilities and
interests, refine their skills,
and participate in discus
sions on leadership with
faculty drawn from among
nationally and internation
ally recognized community
college leaders.
Panel discussions
included topics on commu
nity college issues and
challenges, leading institu
tional change, and leverag
ing data in strategic plan
ning. Cherry led the discus
sion on the role of commu
nity partners in community
college education.
"We are pleased that
Jewel was selected to par
ticipate in this prestigious
institute," said Forsyth
Tech President Dr. Gary
Green. "This speaks tt>"
Jewel's high qualifications
as a member of Forsyth
Tech's senior leadership
team and reinforces the pri
ority we place on providing
our staff with professional
development opportunities
to help them grow and be in
the best position to support
our students."
ELI has been preparing
senior-level community
college administrators to
successfully fill the presi
dential role for 27 years.
The League is an interna
tional association dedicated
to catalyzing the communi
ty college movement. It
hosts conferences and insti
tutes, develops web
resources, conducts
research, produces publica
tions, provides services and
leads projects and initia
tives with member col
leges, corporate partners,
and other agencies to make
a positive difference for
students and communities.
