  1. We do not say it enough…thank you for protecting us and working to carve out the Cancer(s) before they destroy our community. We know you are working hard to make it safe to live and shop in the Town of Smithfield. Be safe out there.

  5. Now remember that path and quit violating citizens constitutional rights. Smithfield police are the worst in my book. It’s funny they point out the oath they take to uphold the constitution that the police training teaches them to violate.
