Captain Gay Carraway has been reassigned after eight years in the Seventh District.
He assumed command of the Eighth District at the end of 1982.
His departure marks a sad occasion for the – many friends he made during the years of intimate association with the Seventh District.
During his years as commander he headed the experimental “Team Policing” . project, which he refers to as the “highlight of my career.” Capt. Carraway feels that the delivery of police services throughout the City of St. Louis was enhanced by team policing. Throughout his distinguished career of 25 years as a member of the St. Louis Police Department, Capt. Carraway has been regarded as an unusually capable professional.
He holds an undergraduate degree from Webster College and a – Master in Business Management degree from the same institution.
He also serves as chairman of the local chapter of NOBLE (National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives). Captain Charles Alphin has replaced Capt. Gay Carraway. Capt. Alphin has been a police officer for 17 years, and was recently promoted to captain.
He has served in many different capacities, and during his stay in the Fourth District he helped to set up foot patrol beats at Laclede’s Landing and the Convention Center.
His continuing interest in foot patrol and his constant interest in young people should benefit our community greatly. Charles Alphin is president of the Citizens’ Committee for Academic and Athletic Growth in University City, pastpresident of the University City Sports Association, and a member of NOBLE.
He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in law enforcement and criminal correction from Northeast Missouri State College.
A reception to honor Capt. Carraway and Capt. Alphin for their service in the Seventh District police and the Skinker-DeBaliviere community has been set for Feb. 6 at 7:30 p.m. at Grace and Peace Fellowship Hall, 6003 Kingsbury. Sponsors of the reception are Central West End Savings and Loan, Pantheon Corporation, McPherson Management, Pitzman Engineering and Surveying, Crossroads School, and Grace and Peace Fellowship.
