Black upper leadership at FDLE

[Unregistered]

Can someone please advise if there is Black representation in the upper levels of FDLE management?

It’s a question you’re asking to bait an emotional response. Who cares as long as person is qualified.

Besides one SAC in Miami, is there any others?

It's not a bait question, it's about representation and diversity... and possibly the lack thereof.

FDLE Commissioner Swearingen has had more than enough time and certainly opportunity to promote African-American within FDLE but has not done so. Just look at his staff!!

And the SAC in Miami has more time with FDLE and was better suited for the Assistant Commissioner position years ago, but the white guy got the nod (TF). No way TW was not more qualified even!

But TF is more of a "yes" guy and is willing to turn the other way on the dirtier things and make Commissioner Swearingen always right and cover for everything that may need. it.

The legacy of promoting people that will cover your ass and be "YES" guys to you continues on (Just like how The Governor promoted RS) instead of diverse, better qualified people get the nod.

ZERO. ZIP. The promotion of a White Guy to assistant commish over a very qualified Black male who has actually been with the agency longer tells you what you need to know.

Inaccurate. Recent promotion in HQ of very talented black man to ASAC. Diversity? Latinos/Hispanics, women, LGBTQ, blacks... all in positions of supervisors and command staff. Y’all need to STFU.

So 2 African Americans in leadership positions in a Florida Agency with 8 regions and thousands of employees?

Doesn't seem proportional or even close to proportional to the State!! And that was the FIRST promotion under the current commissioner to that level- but it still is not "upper" management or worthy of the ORG chart.

We need affirmative action in the FDLE. After all, we had it in our last president, and we can see how much of a wonderful job (not) he did. But he can read a teleprompter though.

Well said. Who cares about the color of the skin. The agency is dying from within due to lack of leadership. How long can they keep the magic show going?
