Bradley County Sheriff Eric Watson has received an official request for assistance due to Hurricane Irma. Seven Bradley County Sheriff's Office deputies and three Bradley County constables have been deployed to parts of North Carolina to provide temporary security coverage. The coverage duration
will be determined by hurricane Irma's path and will cease when the situation stabilizes.
"Those who choose the law enforcement profession are a family," said Sheriff Eric Watson.
"Many forget when tragedy comes, most often times those who protect need assistance as well. The Bradley County Sheriff's Office is proud to be able to provide that assistance to those who have taken the
same oath of service to the public as we have. They go with their tools, their labor and our prayers."
The officers will be working under a Declaration of a State of Emergency Executive Order signed by Governor Roy Cooper of North Carolina.
