I think it is great to see some-one that is a product of NW Fort Lauderdale elevate to the rank of Assistant Chief of Police. Anthony Williams was the department’s senior Police Major in-charge of Police District Two, which encompasses the City’s NW Community. Chief Williams has earned a reputation of having a great working relationship with our residents and he will play a pivotal role in the development of several major projects our department will undertake within the next two years. – Chief Frank Adderley
