Updated 41 mins ago NBCUniversal, Inc. History has been made at the Mesquite Police Department with its first Black Sergeant since the department was founded in 1952. Growing up to become a police officer was not in the plans for Sergeant Torrey Rhone. “I grew up in Los Angeles in the '80s and '90s and, you know, it was a very tumultuous time. I lived through Latasha Harlins being killed at the liquor store. I lived through the Rodney King incident. I lived through the 92 riots,” said Rhone.
