SAVANNAH, GA (August 10, 2018) – Family, friends and City of Savannah officials gathered this afternoon as the Savannah Police Department held a Promotion and Badge Pinning Ceremony.

Seven officers were promoted to the rank of sergeant: Kelvin Ansari, John Garcia, Shawn Kinzer, Kenneth Leach, Eugene Solomon, Brian Spence and Richard Wiggins.
“I am always honored to attend ceremonies like this,” said Alderwoman Carol Bell. “It’s an honor for us to say thank you to folks who give of themselves tirelessly.”
Four women and 13 men also graduated from the eight-week Savannah Police Patrol School, after completing 11 weeks of training at the Georgia Public Safety Training Center in Garden City. Their family and friends joined them on stage, where they were ceremoniously inducted into the department by the pinning of their official badges.
“I’m proud of all of you, your families are proud of you and your colleagues are proud of you,” said Chief Mark Revenew, addressing the promotees and graduates. “You now belong to a network of colleagues and other professionals. Congratulations to all of you.”
