Police Chief Jeff Leonard released the following statement in response to the Wake Forest community’s outpouring of support following last week’s tragic shootings in Dallas:
“On behalf of the Wake Forest Police Department, I want to thank you, our citizens, for your overwhelming support. Over the past several days, many area residents and business owners have approached our officers and thanked them for their service. Others have brought food to the police department and performed other gestures of appreciation. Such demonstrations of support have been a wonderful source of encouragement for our men and women who are dedicated to our community and the relationships we have with our citizens. We will continue to be diligent in our service to our community and remain committed to protecting the people we are pledged to serve with courage, honor, and integrity.”
