FLINT, Michigan -- A father and son are now heading the Flint Police Department.
Mayor Don Williamson in a 2:30 p.m. news conference named Fire Chief Richard Dicks is being named a "super chief" and will oversee both the fire and police departments. His son, David Dicks, who was an inspector with the mayor's Citizens Service Bureau, is being named interim chief and will report to Richard Dicks.
Williamson also tapped David Forystek, a sergeant in the traffic bureau, as interim deputy chief.
"In my new vision all officers from the chief on down will be on the street actively fighting crime and being highly visible to the community," Williamson said.
Williamson said the promotions will help focus the department on community policing, which David Dicks also was a part of in the CSB.
Both Richard and David Dicks attended the press conference, at which none of the officials would answer media questions. Both Richard and David Dicks are longtime Williamson supporters who are frequently seen at Williamson events.
In February Richard Dicks' home was searched by the U.S. Department of Labor as part of an ongoing investigation into misuse of funds by Career Alliance Inc.
His home is the address listed as the main office for City Security Guard Company Ltd., which has had ties to Career Alliance Inc. for years and continues to work for the troubled nonprofit job-training agency.
David Dicks was one of five officers hand-picked by Williamson to serve in the Citizens Service Bureau in December 2006.
He was fired from the department two years prior for an off-duty drunken driving incident.
Dicks was arrested Jan. 31, 2004, for drunken driving in Flint Township after his car crossed the center line and hit an oncoming car.
He was fired by then-police chief Bradford Barksdale three weeks later, but was put back on the job by Williamson.
Dicks pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of impaired driving in the case and was fined. |

During the Incident... did anyone mention where his police firearm was?
Maybe some CCW permit holders could expound upon the rules concerning drinking and carrying a weapon. |

Carrying Under the Influence
An individual licensed to carry a concealed pistol shall not possess a concealed pistol on their person or motor vehicle while they have any bodily alcohol content (.02 bodily alcohol content [BAC] or above) or a controlled substance.*
Acceptance of a CCW license constitutes implied consent to submit to a chemical test for violations of this law.
A police officer who has probable cause to believe an individual is carrying a concealed pistol and has consumed alcohol may require a chemical test of breath, blood, or urine.
An individual carrying a concealed pistol with any BAC is subject to immediate seizure of their pistol and the following penalties:
BAC of .02 - .07 = State civil infraction, $100 fine, and up to 1-year CCW license revocation.
BAC of .08 - .09 = 93-day misdemeanor, $100 fine, and up to 3-year CCW license revocation.
BAC of .10 or more = 93-day misdemeanor, $100 fine, and permanent CCW license revocation.
* This does not prohibit an individual licensed under this act to carry a concealed pistol who has any bodily alcohol content from transporting that pistol in the locked trunk of his or her motor vehicle or another motor vehicle in which he or she is a passenger or, if the vehicle does not have a trunk, from transporting that pistol unloaded in a locked compartment or container that is separated from the ammunition for that pistol or on a vessel if the pistol is transported unloaded in a locked compartment or container that is separated from the ammunition for that pistol.
For other prohibitions against carrying a concealed weapon, see "Pistol Free Areas".

Jeez didnt you just read the rules for carrying while drunk? (let alone driving )You dont think he would violate that do ya??  and if he had would Flint elevate him to the top cop spot.  A while back I was advised by another forum member to stay up here in the sticks and never return to Flint. Well what do ya know another reason to follow his advise. |

It's up to the prosecutor what laws to apply or whether to even prosecute. |
