From the television[local channel]-segement-where it was stated that new authority CHIEF' co-workers were like FAMILY and that he always supported the views of his FAMILY [summerized][wrote it down]; thought the most interesting thing was that the wife was name GWYNDOLYN; that the same WS authority[PATTERSON] that came to the mail box situation that said that the Winston-Salem authority have nothing to do with with mail box situaion is also the one uplifting the new authority chief and PATTERSON [ws authority is also connected to NAACP; and the new authority chief sits on the board of experiment in self reliance [called local church who has not called me back where his church member is in charge of something at experiment in self relicance]- The article was in the Sunday-
Winston-Salem Journal Newspaper.
Oh and males of the larger authority radio announcers were talking about the DARKNESS that the United States was going to go into IF they did not stop what they are doing=and in order for males of the larger society to be out of the way when MINORITIES are being slaughtered in broad day light=have to put a black person in charge[like the current re-elected head of the United States administration] to do it; because slavery, of African Americans is illegal; of course; however IF done by their own kind then white people can turn their head and say that is so sad for them to do their own kind that way EVEN though the white people are paying them to do their kind that way.
Anything happens to me is not an accident; well planned, from the head to bottom; because males of the larger society do not want to allow African Americans TRUE freedom to live as free as white males and neither do males of the larger society want to allow African Americans to have and control African Americans communities/heritage. [All though the United States Supreme Court ruled it to be so-that African Americans be given the SAME rights and privileges of white males].

Rountree outlines plans as Winston-Salem police chief
BY JOHN HINTON
Winston-Salem Journal
Barry Rountree, the city’ s next top cop, remembers the days in the early 1990s when he was a member of the police department’s foot patrol in Happy Hill Garden.
As a young officer, he also worked in the agency’ s vice and narcotics units.
Like other officers, Rountree arrested his share of suspected criminals.
“It’s been a while since I made a physical arrest,” Rountree said Thursday in an interview in his office. “I’ve seen people through the years that I have arrested. We don’t have any bad blood.”
Rountree, 49, rose through the ranks, becoming a sergeant, lieutenant and a captain. He has worked as the assistant chief in charge of the Investigative Services Bureau for seven years. He was previously the commander of the Field Services and Support Services bureaus.
He also has overseen the Professional Standards Division, the Special Operations Division, Recruiting, Training and Information Technology.
City Manager Lee Garrity announced last week that he had selected Rountree as the chief of the Winston-Salem Police Department. Rountree a 25-year-veteran, will replace Chief Scott Cunningham, who is retiring June 30. Garrity said Rountree was the strongest candidate among three finalists for the job.
“He has the support of the police captains and lieutenants,” Garrity said of Rountree. “I know him and I trust him. I know he is an honest and a good man.”
Cunningham also praised Rountree, saying that he is familiar with the department, the

community and issues within the city.
'This will be of great help as he continues and expands the advances that have been made in the last five years,' Cunningham said. 'He will lead an outstanding agency with dedicated people who deliver world-class service to our citizens. I wish him all the best and will help him in any way I can.' Since getting the job, Rountree has spent hours meeting with his officers and the agency's civilian employees, he said.
'I wish I had a few more hours in the day,' he said.
Rountree said he will work to maintain the generally declining crime rate in Winston-Salem by focusing on spots where spikes in crimes are occurring.
'I will enhance what we are presently doing in the community, focusing our deterrence on hot areas and educating the public on securing their homes, their vehicles and (themselves) when they are out shopping,' Rountree said.
The number of violent crimes, aggravated assaults and property crimes in Winston-Salem increased an average of 4 percentage points from 2010 to 2011, reversing a trend of declining crime rates in the city in previous years.
The year-to-year changes released in June 2012 by the FBI in its report showed that the number of crimes reported to police nationwide dropped again last year compared with 2010. The city's crime rate dropped steadily from 2008 to 2010.
Rountree said he considers 'hot areas' to be places such as an apartment complex that has experienced a rash of vehicle break-ins. When Rountree and other police administrators see an increase in crime from daily reports and crime analyses, 'we will move our officers into those ar eas,' Rountree said.
Rountree also talked about the changes that he has seen in his agency during his career and his approach to hiring and retaining more black, Hispanic and Asian American officers.
He said he will find a replacement for himself as assistant chief among the department's cadre of captains who would apply for the job.
'I don't have any idea of whom may apply,' Rountree said.
During his tenure in the police department, Rountree has seen technological advancements and changes in the types of crimes that officers investigate.
Officers now have cameras and computers in their patrol cars, Rountree said. The agency uses improved police dispatch methods, crime analyses and forensics that 'helps us solve crimes and deliver services better to the citizens,' he said.
Police also are see ing more Internet-based crimes happening 'things you didn't see 25 years ago,' Rountree said.
Rountree plans to continue Cunningham's policy of working to increase the diversity of officers to reflect the city's diverse population. The police department will continue working with local churches and community groups and attending job fairs to find qualified people regardless of their race and gender to become officers.
The agency also will use social media such as Facebook and Twitter in its recruiting efforts, Rountree said.
Vivian Burke, a member of the Winston-Salem City Council and a chairwoman of the city's public-safety committee, said she wants Rountree to discuss some of his plans as chief with her committee.
Burke said Rountree should meet and speak with as many residents and neighborhood association groups as he can. As chief, Rountree is a role model to his son, Barry Jr., and other young people, Burke said.
Garrity made a wise move in hiring Rountree as the police chief, said S. Wayne Patterson, the president of the Wnston-Salem chapter of the NAACP.
'He (Rountree) has a good reputation of being fair and just in the community,' Patterson said. 'He will bring a great deal of leadership, integrity and character to the position.' Patterson said that Rountree's ascension to police chief is a positive development for the African-American community.
'He is setting a precedent,' Patterson said. 'Through hard work, you can achieve your goals and be a positive role for all males of all races.' Rountree said he realizes that city residents will notice that he is the first black man to be the police chief.
'I am here to be chief for all of the citizens of Winston-Salem,' he said.
