HENDERSON COUNTY, N.C. — In Henderson county, there’s one thing law enforcement volunteers are never asked to do– carry a weapon.
They play a vital role for many counties that are strapped when it comes to cash and manpower. Whether it’s traffic duty or courthouse security, the county relies on volunteers every day.
The Henderson County Sheriff’s department fingerprint room gives other departments a blueprint for how volunteers can be utilized.
“The criminals are done in the detention center. We just do the nice people in here,” says Bob Huskey, who’s been volunteering for 18 years.
