RED SPRINGS – The sound of sirens and adrenaline allow Elizabeth Locklear to do what she does best: serve others.
Locklear enjoyed a four-year period as an emergency medical technician with Med 1 Plus in Robeson County, but sought to give more.
“It was just the adrenaline I had to move on to calls,” Locklear said.
Adrenaline is what motivated his resolve to target law enforcement. Police were the first to arrive at the site, and the 26-year-old doctor sought to be a part of it.
“I like to go above and beyond to do more than other people are used to,” Locklear said of service to others.
And her enthusiasm for serving led her to take a fundamental law enforcement education at Robeson Community College in June 2019 and enroll in the Hoke County Sheriff’s Office, where she was an assistant sheriff for a year before returning to Robeson County.
In July, he joined the Red Springs Police Department, is the youngest member of the 16-member police force. Locklear is one of 8 patrol boats on the force.
“She’s a great worker, eager to be informed and work,” said Red Springs police chief Brent Adkins.
And she helps keep her word, says the boss.
“What she says she’s going to do, she’s doing,” Adkins said.
The official stated that she was “willing to help” and that she treated victims of crime or emergencies as if they were members of her own family.
“I’m very happy with people, whether small or huge,” Locklear said.
Answering calls can be hectic, she says. But once she takes the stage, she begins her education and everything becomes a “second nature” for her.
“It’s pretty exciting because you never know what you’re going to get,” he said of the shift.
But the paintings also have their drawbacks, especially with the national belief of the most negative police as a result of the shooting of unarmed African-American men and women, among other incidents.
“Sometimes it’s scary,” he says. I don’t need to park in a position where it’s open for a long period of time (time). “
However, she is afraid to do her homework and sees negative beliefs as a “reason to give up. “
“I take care of my back,” he says.
The patrol officer acknowledges that other people are afraid of the police, recalling a recent encounter with a 19-year-old boy who was shaking in fear.
“Trust us. That’s the biggest fear right now, it’s accepted as true in the community,” he said.
The officer is not looking to harm the residents, but he should look at his interests, Locklear said.
“It’s not shooting to kill, ” he said of the actions of each of the officers.
“I love the Red Springs community,” he added.
When the officer is off duty, she’ll probably be found worried about her grandmother in Pembroke.
And so far, she’s not planning to go soon or look to climb the ranks of the police, but she’s happy with her workload and plans to keep doing what she loves most.
“Just to do my job, save lives and answer the call to service,” Locklear said.

RALEIGH – A sour war of words over adjustments to election regulations passed Tuesday through the National Election Council is spreading to the country’s capital.
Lt. Governor Dan Forest, a Republican, said Thursday that he had sent a letter to US Attorney General William Barr.
“The letter calls on Attorney General Barr to investigate recent movements of the North Carolina State Electoral Council and (State Attorney General) Josh Stein that will undermine the integrity of our November election,” says a state in Forest, which opposes current Democrat Roy Cooper in the 2020 gA
Political combat over an agreement reached through the State Electoral Commission and plaintiffs in a legal challenge to electoral regulations has also attracted the attention of at least one North Carolina congressman. Dan Bishop criticized the regulation, which said it overrides state legislation prohibiting the collection of ballots and calls for the timely final touch of the upcoming elections.
“Smart, unethical lawyers like Attorney General Josh Stein and Gov. Roy Cooper have long known that coluseorious litigation agreements can be used to circumvent the legislature and usurp well-enacted laws. That’s what they got out yesterday,” said Wednesday, the Republican representing North Carolina’s District Nine.
The agreement arises from the North Carolina Alliance of Retired Americans against the North Carolina State Board of Elections and Phil Berger and Tim Moore, and the terms of the regulation are not yet engraved on the legal stone, will have to be approved by Wake Bryan’s Superior Court judge. Collins The hearing is scheduled for October 2.
In short, the regulation states that the electorate can correct the disorders by informing witnesses on their ballots by mail without filling out a new logo, but that they can sign an affidavit confirming their identity. The settings also give public servants an additional six. days to get ballots by mail, as long as they carry the postmark before polling day. If approved, it would also allow ballots by mail to be delivered to the first polling places in person when they open next month.
Republican lawmakers say the settlement is an act of collusion perpetrated through the Democratic Alliance and the State Election Council, which is an defendant in the case. The agreement was reached without the wisdom or consent of the other defendants, according to lawmakers and Republican officials.
Members of the State Board of Elections said an agreement was reached because they feared that without an agreement they would threaten to overturn the security protections of broader voters in court.
An almost immediate effect of the deal was Wednesday’s resignation through the two Republican members of the five-person State Electoral Commission.
State Board spokesman Patrick Gannon stated that letters from members David Black and Ken Raymond won Wednesday night.
“We appreciate your service to the State Council, especially the wisdom and attitude you have provided during your years of service as members of the County Board of Elections,” Gannon wrote in a statement.
Regarding the deal, Gannon said it was a unanimous agreement from board members after being very well informed through the agency’s lawyers and trial lawyers before last week’s closed-door meeting.
“The agency’s legal staff, who are public servants, provide detailed legal notes to the board prior to the board assembly and answer any questions board members have about the issues presented to the board,” Gannon said.
Black and Raymond say they cheated.
“In particular, the recent memo describing the new ‘cure’ for vote-by-mail of the legal responsibility to testify. I did not perceive that that would only mean that an affidavit or document would be sent to the voter to confirm that the In addition, however, a voter signature would not be required to confirm that the vote was theirs. I understood that the requirement for a witness would remain as it is now, unless only the signature of one witness is required, “Black wrote in your letter of resignation.
Raymond wrote in his letter that AG Stein did not tell members of the Electoral Committee that many of the concessions made in the settlement had already been rejected in an earlier case through a federal ruling on and a few others through a three-time court ruling.
“Secondly, they led us that the refusal to participate in an agreement that would come with the extension of ballots by mail beyond the date of legal acceptance would also result in the elimination of the witness requirement for citizens voting by mail.
“Furthermore, we were led to the fact that the effective management of the election itself was based on regulation. And if a court order were issued when the electorate was voting, effective electoral management would be impossible,” says Raymond’s letter in part.
State Republican Party leaders said Black and Raymond’s resignations were the result of “intimidation and deceptive tactics” deployed through Governor Cooper’s partisan electoral commission and Attorney General Stein’s office.
“Cooper, Stein and the electoral committee must rewrite North Carolina’s electoral law. This unconstitutional attempt to circumvent the democratic procedure seeks to widen the legal deadline for absentee voting, nullify the needs of witnesses passed in the bipartisan electoral law of 2020, rewrite the definition of postmarks, and weaken protections that oppose ballot collection,” an NCGOP communiqué said. Partly.
North Carolina Democratic Party Chairman Wayne Goodwin warned Thursday that the resignations were a coordinated move, especially given how temporarily Republican politicians must take advantage of the situation.
“With 40 days to pass before this election and a record absentee vote already underway, Republicans know that their control over the force in Raleigh is, at best, subdued,” Goodwin said. “Clearly, they are concerned about the electorate’s verdict and will back down. Anything, including lying and sowing mistrust in our electoral procedure, to cling to force. There have been many embarrassing moments for the North Carolina Republican Party over the past decade, yet getting a general attack on the integrity of our election is a new low.
Phil Berger, acting president of the North Carolina Senate, on Thursday subsidized Black and Raymond’s accusations of deception. He also pushed for the accusation of collusion, saying that the Election Office and the Legislature are co-accused at trial, the Elections Office “secretly negotiated ” with plaintiffs to rewrite the law to facilitate mail-order voting fraud. Parliament knew nothing about regulation until it was presented to the judge,” he said.
“The Democratic Election Council has repeatedly tried to enact these policies for months. They lost when the legislature rejected them almost unanimously; lost when a federal ruling rejected them; they lost when they were rejected by a state court,” Berger said. “They have now resorted to deception and deception by hiding key data from Republicans and secretly negotiating with Democratic plaintiffs to succeed in a coluse agreement that allows absentee voting fraud to be repeated, as happened in the ninth congressional district in 2018. “
House President Tim Moore said it was an attempt to circumvent due process in state government that gives the impression that Democrats are taking formal government action to influence elections in his favor.
“These waivers raise serious questions about the integrity of the Cooper-controlled State Electoral Council, Josh Stein’s Justice Department, and the cases under which this coluse agreement is proposed,” Moore said Thursday.
The Democratic leader in the House rejected Thursday.
“The Republican diatribe against the right to vote has reached an unreasonable level. Tim Moore and the Republicans of North Carolina have been on a project to untangle voting rights for decades, undermining the legitimacy of our election that is falling to a new low,” Rep. Darren Jackson said. “This proves once again that the North Carolina Republican Party has renounced any appearance of patriotism or respect for our democracy. “
