Bladen County Sheriff issues appeal to citizens in fight against crime
The Honorary Membership Program was created to provide citizens with an opportunity to lend their support to more effective law enforcement and to better help local sheriffs protect the lives and property of citizens.
WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Responding to the increasing number of people wanting to assist law enforcement officials and build a stronger partnership in the fight against crime, Bladen County citizens are being invited to become Honorary Members of the North Carolina Sherriff’s Association.
Membership applications go out in the mail this month. Individuals choosing to join the voluntary program can do so for $25, while businesses can show their support with a $50 contribution.
Contributions are tax-deductible as allowed by law since the Association is a 501(c) 3 not-for-profit tax exempt organization.
“With funding becoming increasingly important to secure, the North Carolina Sheriffs’ Association’s Honorary Membership Program has taken on greater importance than ever before”, said Sheriff McVicker. “The funding is vital in helping us carry out our mission of making our county a safer place to live, work, and play.”
