BLET achievement awards
During the recent Onslow Crime Stoppers Awards Banquet, JPD officer James H. Springfield and Cody J. Irish were presented the Basic Law Enforcement Training Superior Achievement Award. Springfield was the 2020 spring class graduate and Irish was the 2020 fall class graduate at Coastal Carolina Commu
He says he has only used the term twice throughout his entire life.
When describing the culmination of the moment during his final days as chairman of the Onslow/Jacksonville Crime Stoppers Program, Joe Yannessa comedically explained to a crowd of local law enforcement this is now the third time he has said something was bittersweet .
Twenty-one years after he joined the exploratory committee with Naval Criminal Investigative Service that would eventually become Crime Stoppers, Yannessa doesn t know a better way to say how he felt standing in front of the people he has worked closely with during that time. Vice-Chairman Bob Bright has given the program 19 years and beginning in 2021, the two will step down after building one of the most successful programs in the state.
