South Sudan
Oct. 05, 2015
Abraham and Boir came to Vermont with the first wave of Sudanese in the winter of 2001, and worked their way through High School requirements and into UVM all the while maintaining a 8-hr job to pay their living expenses. Both are UVM graduates and both have graduate degrees (Abraham a Masters in Public Administration from Syracuse, Bior a Ph.D. in molecular science from UVM). Sandy and Margy Zabriskie have put each of them up in their home from time to time and know them well. Both have gone back to South Sudan to help in the fashioning of a working democratic government. Both are married with small children who are living in Uganda (it's safer than So. Sudan right now). Both are able to talk personally about their involvement with the So. Sudanese government as it has tried to deal with the tribal rebellions |

Burlington City Police Chief
Nov. 16, 2015
Chief del Pozo was named Chief of the Burlington City Police Department earlier this year. The following is from a recent article in the Burlington Free Press: Del Pozo joined New York Police Department in April 1997 and has risen "steadily and rapidly" through the ranks, the mayor (Miro Weinberger) said. Del Pozo twice served as a precinct commander: for the Bronx from 2009 to 2011 and Greenwich Village and West Village from 2011 to 2013. He was a commanding Officer for Project Management in the Office of Police Commissioner Raymond Kelley for five months before getting his present post dealing with strategic initiatives in January 2014 under new NYPD Commissioner William Bratton. Del Pozo said he hopes to take some leadership qualities that both Kelley and Bratton demonstrated as police commissioners. "I'd like to take some from both playbooks," del Pozo said. He did say he believed in police officers getting out of squad cars and mingling with the public. While the New York City Mayor has clashed with the NYPD it was not any unhappiness that caused him to move on. He said he wished Schirling had actually stayed on six months or more. Del Pozo acknowledged under questioning that by leaving before his 20-year anniversary he stands to lose $12,000 a year for the rest of his life in supplemental retirement funds. He is a 1996 graduate of Dartmouth College, where he majored in philosophy. He has a master's degree from the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University in 2004; a master's degree in criminal justice from John Jay College of Criminal Justice in 2006; and a master's degree of philosophy from the City University of New York in 2012. He has completed all but his dissertation for his doctorate in philosophy. Del Pozo created the NYPD's intelligence post covering the Middle East based in Amman, Jordan, and also did work in Israel, Turkey, India, Japan, Singapore and Thailand from 2005 to 2007. He returned to NYC to be the supervising officer in the intelligence division and was promoted to lieutenant and served two years. He also had one-year experience with the Internal Affairs Division. Del Pozo also was a commanding officer in 2009 for Internal Affairs at NYPD, which has more than 34,000 police officers. |
