During National Police Week '26 our Refined Seniors hosted North Carolina Central University (NCCU) Police Chief Robert Gaddy, Jr., () who reminded us that strong communities are built when faith, wisdom, and public safety walk hand in hand.
With personal anecdotes, Chief Gaddy humorously instilled that a safer community, more often than not, starts with common sense and connection with each other. Attendees were blessed by his heartfelt childhood stories, faith-filled wisdom, university insights, and crime prevention tips tailored to seniors and for the general population. *A special "thank you" to Lt. Genavous Minor for sharing his culinary talents!
North East honors National Police Week by strengthening the bonds that keep our community safe. Chief Gaddy’s visit encouraged us to live out Micah 6:8 — justice, mercy, humility — in partnership with those who serve with integrity.
Together, we can be a light in Durham.
