| 2021-08-15 |
| [WIRE] A former police officer in North Carolina’s Asheville Police Department (APD) both admonished and apologized to the community he served in a heartfelt resignation letter published last week in the local newspaper. Justin Wilson, who served as a community resource officer for 10 years with APD, explained in an Aug. 21 email sent to neighborhood groups he worked with that he was moving to Colorado to begin a new career because his law enforcement job "has taken a toll on my personal life," the Asheville Citizen-Times reported. Wilson also expressed regret for not having offered his community "more safety and protection" but maintained that police are being expected to stem the tide of social problems that can only be solved by "strong communities." He further urged Asheville residents to remember that his fellow police officers, who he said "are good people with good hearts," are confronted with real evil that is "not within our capacity" to curb entirely. His full letter reads: |
