Dr. De Lacy Davis only became a cop to finance his music career, but things didn't go as planned. He fell in love with the community he served and remained on the force for over 20 years.

Though both his career and his personal life have been marked by tumultuous change, the through line in his story is a commitment to service, honesty, compassion and an innate belief in "doing the right thing" regardless of the consequences.
