NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Fla. -- One of New Smyrna Beach PD's finest has been promoted: Inv. Brian Morris has moved up to the rank of patrol supervisor.
Morris' sergeant's badge was pinned on him by his wife, Nicole, during Tuesday's City Commission meeting.
Morris has more than a decade of experience with the New Smyrna Beach police force, both as a patrol officer and as an investigator in the Criminal Investigative Division. Prior to becoming a cop, Morris served his country in the US Coast Guard, finishing his service at the nearby Coast Guard Station Ponce Inlet.
Morris has been decorated numerous times for exemplary performance during his 10-plus years of service at the NSBPD, to include a decoration for saving someone's life in the performance of his duty, Police Chief Mike Coffin noted.
Sgt. Morris will now make the transition back to the Patrol Division and will be assigned as a shift supervisor following the completion of additional training.
