Brunswick County Commissioner Pat Sykes has been named to the National Association of Counties Justice and Public Safety Steering Committee (NACo).
 
NACo’s policy steering committees annually review and make recommendations on federal policy issues and legislation. The Justice and Public Safety Steering Committee works with matters pertaining to criminal justice and public safety systems, including criminal justice planning, law enforcement, courts, corrections, homeland security, community crime prevention, juvenile justice and delinquency prevention, emergency management, fire prevention and control and civic disturbances.
 
“The expertise and engagement of our steering committee members,” Bryan Desloge, NACo president, said in a news release, “is a main reason why Congress and federal agencies often look to NACo for feedback on legislative policy decisions being made in Washington, D.C.”
