“After Hurricane Helene, Johnston County 911 Communications quickly stepped up to help the people in of western North Carolina,” said Attorney General Josh Stein. “When I was in Canton, I heard about how Johnston County 911 provided resources to get a local radio station get back on air to provide safety updates to people in Haywood County. They selflessly stepped up to get reliable information to a community in need all the way across the state, and I appreciate their hard work.”

“The privilege to serve in public safety is one of the highest honors that I feel anyone can possess,” said Brett Renfrow, Director of Johnston County 911 Communications. “The ability to serve others in their time of need is a true blessing from God and it is one of the most satisfying feelings to know that in some small way you made someone’s quality of life better.”

  1. It’s funny how under Josh Stein and Roy Cooper NC voter ID was delayed and after the 2020 election the redistricting responsibility was stolen from the state legislature through lawfare. It’s nice to see Stein trying to buy some support
