Paying homage to our local Police Men andWomen

STORY BY: KRIS BEASLEY

For the most part, we don’t often think about the Police until we are in need of help or their blue lights are flashing in our rear view mirror. But what would we do without the help of these unsung heroes?

It can’t be a fun job to be a Police Of- ficer. Think about all the unpleasantries you would have to endure. That is why we wanted to give a huge shout out and say, “THANK YOU!” to all our local law enforcement employees. We appreciate

all you do to keep us safe through out: Southport, Oak Island, Boiling Springs and St. James.

Please show your love and appreciation next time you see an Officer of the Law! We are lucky to have them!
