(Norcross, GA): June 12, 2019 \u2013 From Governor\u2019s Press Release: \u201cGovernor Brian P. Kemp made history today by appointing Doraville Police Chief and Brigadier General John King to serve as Georgia\u2019s Insurance Commissioner and Safety Fire Commissioner.

Jerry Gonzalez, Executive Director of GALEO, released this statement on this historic announcement:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGALEO commends Governor Brian P. Kemp for making history today with the appointment of Doraville Police Chief and Brigadier General John King to serve as Georgia\u2019s Insurance Commissioner and Safety Fire Commissioner. Chief John King is a native of Mexico and with the appointment has become the first ever Latino statewide constitutional officer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As police chief, King worked tirelessly to build strong relationships with his diverse community in Doraville by creating and implementing several youth education, crime-prevention programs, as well as prioritizing linguistic inclusion within his police force. King worked to hire bilingual officers, and he placed numerous languages on his fleet of police cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Several years ago, Chief John King served as a keynote speaker for one of GALEO\u2019s Power Breakfasts, one of our annual fundraising events. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We look forward to working alongside his leadership and to building a better Georgia together. Once again, GALEO applauds this historic appointment of a stellar Georgian who has served our state and nation honorably.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
