The SBI investigated the Spring Lake Police Department and the findings are very similar to the "charges" that are starting to surface with the Leland department. Spring Lake ended up having their authority revoked and the sheriff's department temporary took over law enforcement duties in the town. Sounds and looks like that is what is needed in Leland. Shut down and clean out the department and let the Brunswick Sheriff's office take over until Leland can rebuild a new department.
Do like Spring Lake PD
