Pitt County Sheriff

Let's work together to protect our community from these attempts to steal our money!

Gov. Josh Stein has proclaimed June 1-7 as the NC S.A.F.E. (Secure All Fi****ms Effectively) Week of Action. Established in 2023, the NC SAFE initiative is designed to raise awareness of the importance of safe firearm storage. During the Week of Action, organizations across North Carolina will distribute free gun locks and safe storage materials to residents. Since its inception, NC S.A.F.E. has distributed more than 175,000 gun locks to firearm owners across the state.

This morning, Pitt County hosted the 4th Annual NC SAFE Week of Action Press Conference from the NC Department of Public Safety. NC "SAFE" stands for Secure All Fi****ms Effectively. That is a message that needs to get out there and simply must be put into action! No more tragedies!

The speakers included:
NCDPS Deputy Secretary William Lassiter
Faris C. Dixon, Jr., Pitt County District Attorney
Major Ray Waters, Pitt Co Sheriff's Office
Dr. Eric Toschlog, Professor and Chief of Trauma and Surgical Critical Care at ECU Health
Deputy Chief Kolenya "KZ" Thomas, Greenville Police Department
Ms. Whitney Brown-Tune, Mother and Advocate
