Sylvester Ge, 49, is the commanding officer of the NYPD's Highway Patrol Department, and is using his high-profile role to inspire other, younger officers to reach for leadership positions.
"I went to Baruch College, found out I wasn't really that good at math," Ge said."So my second semester, I transferred to John Jay College and the rest is history."
He gives credit to his high school guidance counselor who suggested law enforcement, except he didn't know anyone in a uniform and there were very few officers who looked like him.With no mentors or guidance, he took the test anyway and passed.He was tapped to lead highway patrol last December and his dad was beaming.
