In 1979 he received the prestigious Trooper of the Year award for saving a woman’s life. He was promoted to Sergeant on November 23, 1984 and to Lieutenant on June 17, 1988 and assigned as the Assistant Commander for Troop “B” at Newport.

Dempsie has also written an autobiography entitled “Life: It’s All About the Family” and a book of poetry entitled “Southern Charm”. I believe that you will enjoy reading all of these books.ver menos
