Appears that Sheriff Carter is "still on target")Sheriff Tracy Carter of Lee County recently attended the North Carolina Sheriffs' Association 85th Annual Training Conference held in Sunset Beach, North Carolina with other Sheriffs and law enforcement personnel from across the State.
Sheriff Carter said, "Our Annual Training Conference allows North Carolina's Sheriffs to discuss their experiences and learn from each other, as well as bring ourselves up-to-date on important law enforcement developments. My staff and I will use this knowledge to further serve and protect Lee County's citizens."
"Sheriffs in every County of North Carolina are facing tremendous challenges in carrying out their responsibilities for law enforcement and the safety of our citizens; maintenance and operation of local jails; recruiting, training and maintaining talented personnel; working with domestic situations, child abuse cases, serving civil papers, tracking sex offenders in the state, issuing weapons permits, court security, and many other areas," said Sheriff Carter.
Also in attendance were Lieutenant Governor Beverly Perdue; State Auditor Leslie Merritt; Secretary of the NC Department of Crime Control and Public Safety, Bryan Beatty; and Chairwoman of the Governor’s Crime Commission, Linda Hayes; as well as members of the North Carolina Supreme Court and Court of Appeals.
At the Annual Training Conference, Sheriffs discussed issues of interest to the Office of Sheriff, including updates on new changes to criminal law and procedures enacted by the 2007 North Carolina General Assembly. Jones Loflin provided instruction to the Sheriffs about professionally and personally balancing the tremendous demands and numerous opportunities encountered by Sheriffs in carrying out the duties of their Office. Dr. Kevin Gilmartin presented leadership training to the Sheriffs designed to encourage them to take charge of their lives in order to physically and emotionally survive a lifelong career in law enforcement, focusing on the management perspective. Lieutenant Don Ladd of the Durham County Sheriff’s Office presented a workshop that provided Sheriffs with information on recognition of gangs and an introduction to the North Carolina GangNet system, a free software tool for recording and tracking data regarding gangs, gang members and their activities. The information from the database is designed to provide documentation needed to arrest and successfully prosecute gang-related cases.
