Representing most of the en-county area were judges, prosecutors, sheriffs, policemen, :: probation officers, parole .officers, SBI agents, FBI agents, clerks of court, highway patrolmen, etc. i N.C. Attorney General, Bob Morgan was guest -speaker. Commending the role of the law officer Morgan said, "the policeman is our most versatile public servant. Unfortunately, public understanding and support for law enforcement and the administration of criminal justice is not what it ought to be. ... Crime prevention, suffers from a lack of public support," Morgan said. "The policeman . is expected to be all things to all people. . The police are victims of a basic conflict in -V'f'wte toward law we demand law and order... On the other hand, - we don't expect all of these ; laws to be strictly enforced, at least not against ; ourselves,". Morgan said, f? "We expect the policeman ' to make decisions that we ' are unwilling or unable to make as a society. He is often caught in the middle, ' between those who complain 'about law enforcement, and those who complain about police V intrusion or individual fifMs." ' And he continued: "He (the policeman) is the tangible strength pf a government of liberty under law and when the policeman can prevail, disputes among men are settled largely in ink rather than in blood. When the policeman cannot prevail, order becomes chaos and the cry of liberty is lost in the hurricane of social distinction. The proof is written in blood on many a page of history,", Morgan said.
