Sheriff’s Department earns ‘best-dressed’

WILMINGTON — Just call them the fashion police. The New Hanover County Sheriff’s Department has just earned quite a distinction.

Law and Order Magazine just awarded the department the best dressed county agency in the nation. Deputy’s uniforms received rave reviews for the highly polished appearance, and tonal color.

They weren’t just awarded a page in the magazine – they got the cover.

Chief Deputy Ed McMahon said, “We are very excited, the sheriff is very pleased and very honored that we won that award.”

The sheriff’s office is quoted in the magazine as saying they “strive to live by three things: appearance, performance and demeanor.”
