Not sure what that means? Neither were some members of the local Racial Reconciliation Group until new Edenton Po lice Chief Henry King solved the mystery. During last Thursday night’s meeting, King told the group that the saying, “Do What You Say You Will Do,” is the foundation for the de cisions he is called upon to make as Edenton’s top law enforcement officer. He said it affects the way he runs his . department and the way he interacts with kids and adults who are part of the com munity. His goal is fair and impartial policing for all and encouraging his officers to maintain a positive attitude by setting a good example for them even when they are dealing with those who have broken the law. “We cannot change the inevitable,” the police chief said. “The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our at titude. I am convinced that life is 10 percent what hap pens and 90 percent how I react to it. And so it is with you. We are in charge of our attitudes.” King also explained that he believes in and practices what he termed “procedural justice” based on four central principles - “treating people with dignity and respect, giv ing citizens a ‘voice’ during encounters, being neutral and transparent in decision- making, and conveying trust worthy motives.” King said that in addition to practicing positive com munity policing he wants to have a department staffed with officers who reflect the make up of the community. In practical terms, he said, that means having officers who are Caucasian, African- American and Hispanic.

The police chief, dressed the fire department, and of course my family cooked barbecue for most special occasions.” Hughes, a pitmaster and owner of his own business, Old Colony Smokehouse, said when he was growing up it was his mother who handled all cooking in the family.

In fact, he was on his way to a sports event where he was coaching after wrap ping up his presentation to the Racial Reconciliation Group. King said he wants lo cal citizens to realize that the police are not their enemies but rather somebody they need not be afraid to trust when they need assistance. “It hurts me when I see kids run when they see the police coming,” he said. “We’ve got to change that perception. I want to be a part of the solu tion.” See KING, 3A “My dad gave me a grill and I learned to cook any thing and everything on it,” he said. “Before my four years of college were over, I found myself cooking for big crowds at football game tailgates. I did it because I loved to cook, of course, and I had seen the TV competi tions and they looked like a lot of fun.
