RALEIGH – The N.C. Division of Motor
Vehicles will add 16 new driver license examiner graduates to 14 driver license
offices next week. Following graduation from DMV’s Basic Examiner Training
School on Friday, March 2, the examiners will begin work at area offices on
Monday, March 5.
The examiners graduated following six weeks of intensive classroom
study at the N.C. Justice Academy in Salemburg. They will take applications for
learner permits, driver licenses, REAL ID and basic identification cards using
modernized systems that create counterfeit-proof documents that protect against
identity theft. They will also conduct road tests for new drivers.
“These new examiners are joining a team dedicated to providing a
vital service to the citizens of North Carolina,” said DMV Deputy Commissioner
Scott Parker. “They are embarking today on a role that comes with great
responsibility and public trust.”
The new examiners and their duty stations are: Treonna Archie,
Gastonia; Kimala Beechum, Monroe; Jacquetta Boone, West Raleigh; Imran Butt,
Elkin; David Coleman, West Greensboro; Juan Contin, Byron Spencer, Garner;
Akilah Corder, Laura O’Neil, Cary; Demetrius Harris, East Charlotte; Marva
Jackson, South Charlotte; Geraldine Larkin, South Durham; Sheila Sloan,
Goldsboro; David Wakefield, North Raleigh; Derek Weatherington, Wendell; Christa
Young, North Winston-Salem.
