The Roanoke Rapids Police Department has added three new officers to its ranks, welcoming Officer Crystal Joseph, Officer Alexander Holt, and Officer Kelonta Joyner to the department.
The officers were recently sworn in and will begin their law enforcement careers serving the citizens of Roanoke Rapids.
In a social media announcement, the department expressed confidence that each officer will be a valuable addition to the agency and will serve the community with professionalism, pride, and dedication.
The addition of three new officers comes as law enforcement agencies across North Carolina and the nation continue efforts to recruit and retain qualified personnel. Local officials have frequently highlighted the importance of maintaining adequate staffing levels to meet the public safety needs of a growing community.
