President : Sidney Parker
Most of you know me so I wont bore anyone with details about being rich and famous. I have been with the TCSO for 18+ years and counting and currently am a Detective. I believe family is always first with everything else falling in afterwards. I hate long speeches as words can be just that. If you want to get to know me please watch my actions, as they tell what kind of person I am.
