Yes, outstanding Law Enforcement and Policing local communities throughout these United States of America are achievable, based on the years of active patrol duty and service retirement of 3 brave Alston High School graduates from Summerville, South Carolina. Since the late 1960s, Summerville, SC, Dorchester County: African American Tillman U. Millhouse, Jr., a South Carolina "State Trooper," who was recommended to serve in law enforcement by Summerville, SC Mayor Allen B. Luke in 1968, was appointed as the first Black Trooper in Lower South Carolina (1970-1992).
Also, during this time, T. U. Millhouse, Jr. was a Federal Agent and Special Deputy U. S. Marshal (1968-1992). Therefore, it was written. "Whereas, dedicating his life to protecting the people of his community and influential leaders worldwide, Lance Corporal Millhouse boasts a career in law enforcement for over forty years, and has protected some of the world’s most beloved people including Pope John Paul II, John Lewis, Rosa Parks, Presidents and Ambassadors." --- South Carolina General Assembly 116th Session, 2005-2006: Bill 1144.
Regrettably, Tillman suffered a leg injury while serving in the line of duty in 1991 that ended his time as a SC State Trooper. Our native son, Lance Corporal Tillman Millhouse, Jr., former South Carolina Highway Patrolman today is a 2019 - to-present Community Emergency Response Member for both Dorchester and Berkeley Counties, SC: WOW collectively, 24 and 16 plus years of active civil service!
