Reporter philadelphias first africanamerican Police Commissioner Willy Williams is remembered as a trailblazer he was truly my inspiration, the guy for me who set the tone and let me know right away i do do this. Williams began his career in 1967 and rose to the ranks of top cop in 1988. He made people feel at ease. Think that he was more akin to Charles Ramsey is normals of his ability to speak comfortably to the media and ability to communicate what was going on and his ability to set policy. He was the guy who was even tempered but a firm guy. Strong leadership skills but also he was one of the initial proponents of Community Policing and he pushed that very hard. Williams wasnt Police Commissioner for long. In 1992 he was recruited for the same position in los angeles, a city reeling from the rodney king riots. He took an a challenge here and then an even greater challenge by going l. A. And both jobs he did with class and greatness. I am proud to say he is one of my heroes in this profession.
