John is held in high regard by people that he works with, is friends with, and his employers.”
“Man, a statement that is as true today as it was all those years ago. Lt. Berry has worked uniform patrol, SWAT, CID, some of these assignments in supervisory roles. His most recent assignment was running the Office of Professional Standards.”
