The Garner Optimist Club hosted members of the Garner Police Department last night for a Respect for Law banquet. For many years, the Optimist Club has hosted this banquet during National Police Week, as a way of saying thank you to the men and women who work daily to keep Town of Garner, NC Government and it's citizens safe.
Councilmember Phil Matthews read a proclamation signed by Mayor Ken Marshburn that declares that all citizens and organizations in Garner should observe the week of May 15-21, 2022 as National Police Week.
During the banquet Chief Smith was able to honor the “Rob Apple Officer of the Year” for 2022 - Police Officer Patrick Lee. Officer Lee has been with the department for almost six years. He has spent those six years on patrol as an officer, a field training officer, a drug recognition expert, and is passionate about keeping the streets of Garner safe by looking for those who are driving while impaired.
Opening Tomorrow!! A great opportunity for a local non-profit! Community of Hope Ministries, Able to Serve, Inc., Garner Optimist Club, SPCA of Wake County. Please tag others in the comments!
