Those conversations confirm my belief t...hat he is also a man that we will welcome into our community with open arms." I give you, ladies and gentlemen, Bryant Hawkins, Chief of Detectives for the City of Emerald Cove, South Carolina."The applause was louder this time and the assembled group turned to Bryant, clearly expecting him to say a few words.
