Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) Community Policing Fellowship award, which detailed him to Glynco, Georgia for 9 months. As a testament to his diligence in his 23 year NYPD career, Seymour achieved several academic accomplishments. He earned associate's and bachelor's degrees from John Jay College of Criminal Justice, an M.P.A from Long Island University, graduated from the FBI National Academy and Federal Executive Institute, earned a second master's degree in criminology from SUNY Albany and completed all course requirements towards a PhD in criminal justice at SUNY. Seymour retired from the NYPD as the Commanding Officer of the Executive Development Unit in August of 1997. In the fall of 1997, Seymour obtained a job within the federal government's Department of Homeland Security. During this time, he enhanced his training and program development skills. He instructed and developed programs in the United States, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean. He led multi-agency teams in conducting regional law enforcement training needs assessments worldwide, including in Russia, Southeast Asia, Africa and Central America. In 2001, Seymour was appointed director of the newly opened International Law Enforcement Academy (ILEA) in Gaborone, Botswana. Seymour was a member of the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), Special Assistant to the President for International Affairs, a member of the Board of Directors for the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE) and for several years an adjunct professor at John Jay College. Seymour finally retired from FLETC in December 2015, making Brunswick, Georgia his permanent home. The professional and academic success Seymour earned are no less than extraordinary. However, those accomplishments could not compare to what his family, friends and colleagues knew most about him. His love for family, mentorship and benevolence were immeasurable. Seymour could always be counted on in a time of need. He was the most dependable person who could be trusted, resourceful and most of all, inspiring. The impact of his loss will be felt for years to come. Those of us who had the opportunity to share a moment in time with Seymour wish only one thing.........that we got to "see more". Seymour has now gone to rest with his parents, Francis and Meryl, his step-mother Florence, his brother Henry, and his daughter, Shaniqua. Seymour leaves behind to celebrate his life, his wife Beverly, his son Lee Anthony (Stephanie), his son-in-law, Trevor, his brothers Cleveland, Glenmore, Vincent, Steve and Paul, his grandchildren, Asia, Courtney, Colby, Taylor and Shelby, nieces, nephews and a host of relatives and friends too numerous to list, but no less significant in his life.
