54...

Since October, 1984 Sgt. Robert Brewington has served this City as a Greenville Police Officer.   His friends have always called him "Brew," over the years, however younger officers had recently nicknamed him, "Grandpa."

Sgt. Brewington supervised the Traffic Safety Unit for the past 6 years, and prior to that he was one of the principal officers in that unit for many years.  Brew is an expert on the Traffic Safety Laws of North Carolina, and helped make the Greenville Traffic Safety Unit one of the best regarded TSUs in North Carolina.  

The simple fact is that TSU's work saves lives, and Sgt. Brewington is responsible for that in a big way.    

Sgt. Brewington was  a working supervisor;  An Officer's Officer.  He  regularly made DWI arrests and worked the traffic details and other assignments right along side the younger officers.

Sgt. Brewington was a driving instructor for the Greenville Police Department. It was not uncommon for a young officer to make any driving instructor car sick after a short while on the road course or driving simulator...and Brew was not immune to that, either.  It was part of the price he would pay to help other officers learn to be safe while engaged in pursuit and defensive driver training.

Congratulations, Brew, on your well-earned and well-deserved retirement.
