PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

by Brain Arrington, 2011-2012 President

What a privilege and honor it is to me to be elected the 2011-2012 President

of the NCNEOA. I would like to give thanks to all past presidents and present

& former board members that have led by example over the past years guiding

me along the way and helping me to understand the importance of the leadership

positions I have held and now hold with the NCNEOA. Let me also thank the

members of this association for having faith in me and electing me to this prestigious

position. I intend to continue the tradition of the hard working presidents that have

held this position before me.

I have been a part of this association since 2005 and have been a board

member for the past five years. Through this association I have established many

friendships and built numerous working relationships with various narcotic officers

across North Carolina and as a fellow narcotics officer, I can’t begin to tell you the

importance of these relationships when it comes to doing the job.

I want you all to know that to lead this Association takes a team effort and

the team of officers serving you this year are very capable individuals willing to

dedicate their time for the betterment of the Association. I would also encourage all

members of the association to get more involved in the NCNEOA and the political

stance we take. I want to remind you that the NCNEOA is your association and I

encourage each of you to become more involved.

The NCNEOA is in existence to educated and update officers with

information needed to build better cases and prosecute drug dealers to the fullest

extent of the law, but we are also largely involved with the political battle with

the law makers of our state. Most of us have senators and congressmen that

strongly support law enforcement’s efforts and it is our job to voice our concerns

to these individuals to make the necessary changes that would continue to aid law

enforcement’s fight against drugs.

I challenge all members of this Association to always be prepared and to

always remain passionate during your law enforcement career. Be prepared when

you go to work, for the challenges you may face and be passionate about your work.

Follow your passions and success will follow you!

Thank you!

Brian Arrington
