Officer's Association"
will hold its 3rd annual awards night on*
January 6, 1999. The awards are
presented to Carteret County Law
Enforcement Officers who during the past
year have gone beyond the call of duty
and have earned recognition for their
actions. Pine Knoll Shores Officers' Donald

this ceremony. Congrats to our Officers!
The Pine Knoll Shores Police
Department will once again participate in
the state wide "Click It or Ticket" and
"Booze It and Lose It" campaigns. We are
a part of the Law Enforcement Task Force
that works to keep our highways and
streets safe! Our checkpoints have
resulted in felony arrests for narcotics,
handguns, stolen property, revoked
licenses, DWI's and other violations. We
realize that these checkpoints may be an
inconvenience for those legal drivers, but
these checkpoints WORK to keep you safe.
