As most of you are aware, our community has been struck in the past few weeks with several violent acts. Your officers, along with a multiple SBI agencies, have been working furiously around the clock to solve these heinous acts. We have reached out to other state and federal agencies requesting more assistance than they are currently providing, and have made internal adjustments through overtime expenditures.

We have always utilized external resources to assist and develop cases within our community that fit various criteria. With the assistance of ATF and the U.S. Attorney’s Office, we have federally indicted over 110 individuals in the past six years, there (are) several set to be indicted in the near future, and more to come after that.

For the immediate time, we met again this past week with the U.S. Attorney’s Office to garner further assistance in the prosecution of violent and narcotic offenders within our community and we have also gathered further support and resources from state and federal law enforcement.

Our greatest request is to our community. The families that are suffering need your assistance. We have two unsolved cases, and we need our community to take a stand, and provide information to help solve them. You information can remain anonymous if you wish, by calling Crime Stoppers at (252) 492-1925 or by downloading the P3 app on your smart phone or tablet device. If you wish to speak with someone directly, you can call our main number at (252) 438-4141. There is a cash reward of up to $2,000 for information that leads to the arrest of the people responsible for these crimes.
