In 1992, Guy Designed and implemented the second Drug Court in the country. This innovative treatment program worked with felony offenders who were court-ordered to substance abuse treatment. This holistic program offered intensive day/night counseling and vocational/educational involvement.
He later moved to the Broward Sheriff’s Office (BSO) – Department of Detention & Community Control, in Fort Lauderdale, as Assistant Director (equivalent to a Major).
