Police Captain Steven K, Flowers, Greensboro Police Department


 

Some stories transcend time, reminding us of the strength in human connections. In Greensboro, NC, the lives of Captain Dan Moore and Captain Steven K. Flowers illuminate a tale of friendship, courage, and unwavering service. As officers in the Greensboro Police Department, their journey is one of life, death, and an enduring bond shaped by extraordinary circumstances.  

Their story is more than just another police narrative—it’s a testament to the human spirit, one that resonates far beyond the Greensboro community.  

The interview with Captain Steven K. Flowers is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show website, on Apple, Spotify and most major podcast platforms.


From Routine Patrol to a Life-Threatening Scenario

Not all days in law enforcement follow a predictable script. Early in their careers, Officers Steven Flowers and Dan Moore answered what appeared to be a routine disturbance call at a Greensboro boarding house. The situation escalated quickly. After arresting a disruptive individual, they learned he had been released on minimal bail.  

Later that same day, another call came in from the same location. The officers, nearing the end of their shift, responded once again, only to face a harrowing scenario. As they arrived, the suspect opened fire. With their patrol car riddled with bullets, Flowers and Moore were pinned down in a standoff that lasted hours until SWAT arrived.  

That day tested their limits and forged a bond that would remain unbroken through life’s challenges, even as the years brought unforeseen battles.  

When Cancer Changed Everything  

Years after that life-threatening day, another battle loomed—this time a deeply personal one. In June 2021, Captain Dan Moore was diagnosed with stage four pancreatic and liver cancer. Despite the devastating prognosis, Moore faced his illness with the same courage he exhibited in the line of duty.  

For Captain Steven Flowers, witnessing his friend’s fight was both painful and inspiring. Moore’s unwavering spirit taught him profound lessons about resilience, integrity, and the value of every moment.  

On December 27, 2021, Dan Moore passed away at home in Winston-Salem, surrounded by his family. His legacy, however, lives on—not just in the department he served so faithfully, but in the hearts of those he inspired.  

A Career Defined by Excellence  

Captain Dan Moore’s career is the kind of story that defines what it means to serve. Beginning as a firefighter in 1997, Moore transitioned to policing, excelling in diverse roles like fraud investigator, undercover detective, SWAT operator, and firearms instructor.  

Known as a “student, teacher, and warrior-poet,” Moore’s influence extended beyond Greensboro, earning him national recognition as a speaker and trainer on topics like active shooter response and tactical communication.  

Moore embodied the values of the Greensboro Police Department: honesty, accountability, and respect. His contributions set a gold standard, one that continues to guide the department’s 787 dedicated officers and staff.  

Carrying the Torch Forward

Captain Steven Flowers continues to honor Moore’s legacy through his work and his words. Recently featured on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast Flowers shared their extraordinary journey, providing a rare glimpse into the bravery and camaraderie of law enforcement.  

The podcast, available on platforms like Apple, Spotify, Newsbreak, and Medium, tells a story that goes beyond policing. It’s about the human connection that sustains officers through their most challenging moments.  

A City United by Service

Greensboro is a city built on resilience, shaped by individuals like Moore and Flowers. Their story—spanning routine patrols, life-threatening scenarios, and the heartbreak of cancer—is one that reflects the strength of the Greensboro community.  

Captain Dan Moore’s impact extends far beyond his role as an officer. His legacy lives on through his family, the colleagues he mentored, and the many lives he touched. And as Captain Steven Flowers continues to serve, he ensures that the values they shared remain a cornerstone of the Greensboro Police Department.
