Note:
"In 1895, Paul Cephas Howell became Salt Lake City's first black police officer.After a seven-decade gap, Howell's great-grandson Jake Green Jr. became the second in 1968. There are currently six black officers on the Salt Lake force.It has not been easy for Green, 60, to fill his great-grandfather's size-18 shoes: being the only black police officer in the city."
