As someone who spent over 30 years in public service, with close to 20 of those years serving Clayton as a paramedic, I knew when I first got elected that I wanted to make sure our emergency services were properly supported. The Town of Clayton directly funds and operates the Clayton Fire Department and Clayton Police Department. While our Emergency Medical Services are now handled by Johnston County, their importance to our community can never be understated. I wanted to share some of the ways I have supported the Clayton Fire Department and Clayton Police Department during my time in office and how I intend to continue doing so if re-elected.

Clayton Fire Department:
-I voted to fund 3 fire engines, 1 heavy rescue truck, multiple support vehicles, rescue boats, and fire station improvements to make living conditions safer for our firefighters.
-I championed the addition of EMT level medical response, reducing the overall response times for critical medical emergencies.
-I voted to support the addition of multiple firefighters and staffed apparatus making Clayton a full-time career department.

Clayton Police Department:
-I voted to approve additional patrol officers, the creation of a parks police division, and the addition of School Resource Officers to every school in Clayton.
-I supported a reorganization of the rank structure within the department to streamline management of personnel and offer additional career advancement opportunities.
-I voted to support the addition of Narcan and Crisis Intervention training for each officer.
-I voted to purchase additional equipment such as body-worn cameras, in-car cameras, helmets, and other protective gear for each officer.
-I voted to purchase new fingerprint technology and several other tools to better equip our officers to make Clayton the safest town in Johnston County.

I value each and every person that puts their life on the line every day to keep our residents safe and healthy. Our community would not thrive without your hard work and dedication to Clayton.
