Dear Editor:
I am a retired deputy sheriff and served in Northampton County in the ’70s’ and ’80s. I was chief of police in Exmore, and I also worked for the Cape Charles Police Department. I served as vice president of the Virginia State Arson Investigators Association. I am proud of my service to my community. With all this experience, I feel that my observations are of value.
In Northampton and Accomack counties, we are very fortunate. Our citizens, both Black and White, have their own prejudices; however, all in all, we get along very well. Thank God we do not have the problems that the rest of the nation is having.
I feel fortunate that we have the citizens we have, as well as the law enforcement agencies in our two counties. They do a very efficient job.
