The Anson County Sheriff’s Office is currently providing deputies for the town of Wadesboro again. A new contract is waiting to be signed. I know you have seen deputies responding to calls or you may have even had interactions with them. The employees of the Anson County Sheriff’s Office, Detention Center and 911 Emergency Communications take a tremendous amount of pride in serving the citizens of Anson County, the Town of Wadesboro and the other smaller towns in the county. As everyone knows, the normal and regular thing for law enforcement agencies is to provide police services to their own jurisdictions. And when they can’t, financial contracts must be facilitated, sacrifices made, and monies paid. Town and county officials should do what they do best. Law enforcement should do what they do best. Everyone should respect everyone, and disrespect should not be tolerated by anyone. Communication, trust and commitments should lead to camaraderie. Officers will always support each other, that is a historical fact that will never change.
