Next up in our continuing series about
the officers of our neighborhood patrol is Sergeant William (Bill) Skeens. Over
the past month we have heard his name often as he has been instrumental in
thwarting several crimes around the neighborhood including this
attempted smash and grab at Threadz on St. Charles.
Some of us will gladly
tell you anything you want to know. Sgt. Skeens is not that guy. Very reserved
about his personal life and background, we know that he grew up in New England,
served in the United States Marine Corp, has worked for the Atlanta Police
Department for ten years, and served with our neighborhood patrol for seven.
The thing he likes best
about being a police officer is catching the bad guys and he can’t think of any
career he would rather pursue. When asked if he has a safety tip the sergeant
suggested we should, “always be mindful of our surroundings”.
Our Bill Skeens may
well be a man of few words, but that’s OK because he can surely get the job
done, and one look at that stern face will convince anyone up to no good, that
their fun is over!
Great to heat about these officers. Thanks for giving us these insights. Thanks to Chris and all of the FBAC crew for taking care of us while we sleep!
