National Law Enforcement Appreciation

At the 1/10/23 Lake Lure Town Council Meeting, Mayor Carol Pritchett recognized the Lake Lure Police Department. As we know, Law Enforcement Officers of every rank and file have chosen a profession that puts their life on the line every day for their communities. They’ve answered a call to public service that is demanding and often unappreciated – but not here in Lake Lure!

From local, state, and federal, their duties command dedication. The jobs are often thankless and take them away from their families for long hours. Rarely do they know what their days have in store for them. They work in coordination with other local, state, and federal organizations to make communities safer. In addition to these duties, the Lake Lure Police Department goes above and beyond to develop a strong positive relationship with local youth at the Lake Lure Classical Academy by collecting toys and clothing for those in need through a project called Raptor Round-Up.

In recognition of National Law Enforcement Day, we have an opportunity to thank Police Officers for their service! If you see one of our Lake Lure Police Officers, please let them know they are appreciated.
