NORTH MIAMI, Fla. -- City Manager Clarance Patterson on Tuesday announced at a city council meeting that interim Police Chief Clint Shannon would serve in that capacity full time. Shannon had served as interim chief after his predecessor, Gwendolyn Boyd, was fired in October. The North Miami High School graduate joined the North Miami Police Department in 1979. During his 28-year career with the department, Shannon has served as a detective and was part of the first homicide unit in 1983. He was promoted to sergeant in 1990, lieutenant in 1993 and major in 1998. As a major, he was in charge of the department's investigative division. Shannon received a bachelor's degree in organizational leadership from St. Thomas University and is a graduate of the FBI academy. Boyd, who was appointed the first black female chief of police in North Miami in 2002, collapsed and fainted when she learned she had been fired. The reason that was given by the city and the city manager's office was that they were taking a "new direction."
