I worked with VT in the Accident Investigation Unit at MPD. I was impressed by his knowledge, demeanor and appearance. He was a role model to many. May he rest in peace. My sincere condolences to his family.

V.T. Campbell made a significant contribution to the Miami Police Department through the creation of our Honor Guard, with a training syllabus which assured consistency with each service, but adaptability when required based on the exigencies of the situation, and which was largely responsible for the longevity of the Guard concept. Personally, I enjoyed each and every conversation with Valtin over the years, and he never pulled a punch when he thought one was required, and I enjoyed his company. He served our country, and our Department, very well. May God bless his family, of which he was very proud, as is evidenced by his postings over the years, and our coversations over the years.
