To the Editor,

A few weeks ago the police were summoned to the home of a distressed young man in Red Springs. The police used every effort they had to talk to this young man out of harming himself. When they didn’t succeed with this, they immediately called for medical help so that this man’s life might be saved.

I want to commend Red Springs Police Chief Ronnie Patterson and his staff of police officers for their courage and assistance in a time of need. As the daughter of the late Bart Regan, a former police officer and deputy sheriff, I say bless our police officers.
