The Police Chief of the 3rd largest city in South Carolina,
North Charleston Police Chief Jon R. Zumalt will be the keynote
speaker at the April, 21st, 2009 Master Mind meeting.
Chief Zumalt began his career in law enforcement in 1980 when
he joined the Wichita Kansas Police Department as a reserve officer.
This was the beginning of a 21 year career with the Wichita Police Department
where he held command positions in Patrol, Training, Special Operations,
Technical Services, Internal Affairs and Special Investigations.
In 2001 following a nationwide search, Chief Zumalt was hired by
Mayor Keith Summey to lead the City of North Charleston Police Department.
Under his leadership, Chief Zumalt has reshaped the police department and
brought back a "sense of pride" with his innovative management style he describes
as "democratic police leadership."
Chief Zumalt leads his agency through an Executive Staff form where the
Deputy Chiefs work along with him to problem solve, develop policies and plans,
and manage the daily activities of the agency.
Chief Zumalt believes all employees should have the ability to be creative and
bring solutions to the table for consideration. His philosophy is to treat employees
as the department's number one customer with the belief that by doing so they will
be happier, more productive and will treat external customers well.
Chief Zumalt credits the city's crime control success to the department's use of
intelligence to monitor and track violent offender; adjusting resources daily to
emerging crime trends; an attack on drug trafficking and drug related violence;
educating the community on crime problems and crime prevention; creating
problem-solving partnerships with the community; and improving traffic safety.
In addition, the department works as a team member with other city departments
focusing government resources in troubled neighborhoods improving livability and
quality of life which has proven to be a sound crime reduction strategy.
Chief Zumalt holds a Masters Degree in Administration and is a graduate of
FBI-LEEDS Seminar, session 47. In 2005 he was elected to the Executive Board
of FBI LEEDA a national organization of 4000 police leaders. He is a member of
the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF) International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP),
South Carolina Police Chiefs Association, and Chair of the Regional Advisory Council for
the NIJ National Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Center - Southeast Region.
Chief Zumalt chairs a committee of Public Safety Leaders that are consolidating Charleston
County 9-1-1 emergency dispatch operations.

If you don't have any plans for this weekend, you might want to take a little drive
to St. George, S.C. (population 2,104) where they are expecting tens of thousands of
grits lovers, (and a few strange curiousity seekers) to help them celebrate their
23rd annual World Grits Festival.
Have you ever seen a "Grit Rolling Contest"?
C'mon..really?
Let me see if I can explain what you have missed: first, they fill a kiddie pool with with
cooked grits and then contestants (boys, girl, men & women) dive in and coat themselves
with as much grits as possible in 10 seconds!
Contestants wear multiple layers of clothes, big hats and baggy pants with lots of pockets
because the person with the most pounds of grits on his or her body wins the $75 first prize.
(It's the most fun that you can have with your clothes on....check it out!)

Huh? "Rolling in the grits" not your thing?
Well, you still may want to get out and watch the parade making it's way down down the
main street of St. George, enjoy the great weather, the live music, watch the cloggers, and
be sure to try the Deep Fried Grits-n-Cheese, Country Ham, Red Eye Gravy & Grits,
Gooey Butter Grits Cheese Cake, Syrup 'N Bacon Grits, Hot Tomato Grits, Grits and
Cheese Biscuits and my personal favorite, Low Country Shrimp & Cheese Grits!
I guarantee that it will be a "memory" that you won't forget!
Have a great weekend!
Last night on Larry King, Donald Trunp was promoting his newest book, "Think Like A Champion"
and was asked by King, the same question that hundreds of people ask every day:
"What if you want to buy and you can't get the mortgage?"
"The Donald" never blinked as he responded:
"Larry, this is a great time to buy real estate. And as far as financing is concerned, the only financing -- the only financing you should be thinking about is seller financing. If the seller won't give you financing, don't do it, because the banks are not doing their job. They're not providing financing for deals!"
See transcript : http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0904/15/lkl.01.html
What do you think of Donald Trumps comments?
Is he right? Is he wrong? Is he just being "The Donald"?
What do you think?
