SPRING LAKE, N.C. (AP) - Nine officers on the police force of a North Carolina town are set to reaffirm their duty to protect and serve during a formal ceremony.
The Fayetteville Observer reports that Spring Lake's remaining officers will participate in Monday night's ceremony at Town Hall.
Following the ceremony, interim Police Chief Gregg Jarvies job will be done. Jarvies has worked since mid-May, and his original contract called for him to stay until September; an extension kept him in place into November. Wednesday will be his last day.
The town has been without police department presence since May, when a District Court judge effectively stripped the department of its powers. Two officers had been arrested as part of a State Bureau of Investigation probe. The police chief resigned in May.
