Thornburg proposes changes
to improve rural enforcement
Lacy Thomburg
By Ed Miller
The North Carolina Attorney
General is the lawyer for the
residents of the state, Democratic
candidate Lacy Thomburg said
last week while campaigning in
Hoke County.
After breakfast at Raeford's
Wagon Wheel Restaurant, Thorn
burg and his campaign party spent
the rest of Tuesday traveling the
county and telling listeners his
philosophy on the office of at
torney general and what he plans
to do for the people of the county
and North Carolina if elected.
"I view (the office of attorney
general) as an office of the
people," Thomburg said in an in
terview.
The attorney general has to
function as a lawyer for the people
collectively and be a leader in law
enforcement, Thomburg said.
Thomburg sees the office of At
torney General as one who is over
the State Bureau of Investigation
(SBI); therefore, he is very in
terested in the training of all law
enforcement officers.
One of his goals, if elected, is to
put the law enforcement training
center at Salemburg Academy to
good use for future officers, he
said.
"I plan to work hard on officer
training thoughout the state," said
Thornburg.
"I expect to meet regularly with
law enforcement leaders to coor
dinate efforts," he said.
Minimum standards will be set
for all law enforcement teachers in
the state in an attempt to make the
graduating officers more efficient
at their jobs, if Thornburg has his
way.
There will also be minimum
standards for rural officers.
"1 see problems with some rural
police efforts in that the officers
are untrained," Thornburg said,
adding that his objective will not
be to rid the state of those officers,
but to train them to be effective.
The North Carolina's communi
ty college system could be of great
assistance in training more law of
ficers faster and better, he said.
More officers are needed in
some areas, said Thornburg.
White collar crime, drug law en
forcement and the crime lab in
Raleigh are in need of more per
sonnel, the candidate said.
More specialized officers trained
in those areas are needed, he said.
"And, we need more coopera
tion and coordination between law
enforcement levels."
"I am of the opinion that the
law, like the government, is better
enforced at the local level, but
there must be cooperation (be
tween local, state and federal
organizations)," he said.
"We have good law enforce
ment; we can do better," Thorn
burg said.
Law enforcement is not the only
place where Thornburg plans to
make improvements.
He would like to make some
changes in the court system in the
state, Thornburg said, noting that
upgrading the efficiency of the
system will be of high priority.
Minor traffic cases should be
taken out of district court and
handled at the magistrates' level,
he said.
This will include minor speeding
tickets and small moving viola
tions; however, driving while im
paired and other major offenses
should remain in district court.
Thornburg would like to see
misdemeanor appeals out of
superior court and into the North
Carolina Court of Appeals from
the district court level. He reason
ed superior court judges are spend
ing too much time hearing things
other than cases.
"If a judge has to sit up all day
and hear motions, he can't try
cases," he said.
Thornburg says that his major
interests are in the people of North
Carolina, and he is willing to
devote the time to the job of At
torney General that it needs.

it correctly, is a key in basic
reading skills, Semones said.
Making the best use of teaching
time and sticking to a subject is
also in the plan along with a stu
dent by student record of achieve
ment in every CAT testing
catagory.
In this fashion, teachers will be
able to chart each individual's ad
vancements and analyze shortcom
ings, Semones said.
With the information received
from this charting action, teachers
will know what areas their students
are weak in and review the infor
mation, .said Semones.
Teachers will also be able to set
goals and map plans of action for
attaining desired goals.
Improvements in CAT scores
will not happen overnight, but the
Hoke County School system is
aware of problems the and is tak
ing action to correct them,
Semones said.
