Meet Sgt. Lackey. Outside of working as a patrol sergeant, she enjoys a great game of softball 🥎 She plays short field, pitcher, and short stop. #behindthebadge#nationalpoliceweek
Flashback Friday!
Fun fact- under normal circumstances, Officer Barnes likes to spend his free time at Enka High and WCU as a percussion instructor. He says he enjoys the experience of watching students grow through marching band.

A beautiful and somber reminder of those that made the #ultimatesacrifice. Every year the residents of Kimberly Avenue line the roadway with flags. The flags go up at 0400 and are taken down the following day at 0400. #MemorialDay2020
Good day, everyone!
Lots of distractions in the world right now but please don't forget to always lock your bike with a quality lock and lock it to a sturdy, immovable object. Lock in a well-lit area, take photos and record serial number.

Business appreciation, volume 2!
This week, we are highlighting West Asheville and the River Arts district. In case anyone needed a reminder, the TALENT and tastes of Asheville- stunning.
We can’t wait for EVERYONE to be back where they want to be.

As we continue to tell you more "behind the badge" details about our officers for Natl. Police Week, meet Sergeant Pruett. He is over the traffic safety and motor unit. In his free time, he likes getting pumped up at concerts!

Oh say can you see...Sgt. Byers? Hint: he’s 3rd from left in a button down. He’s a part of a local a capella group. This video was taken before COVID-19, as they were practicing to sing the national anthem at a Tourist’s game. #APDsgottalent#behindthebadge#nationalpoliceweek
APD officers wanted to take time to welcome back businesses that are a part of the phase 1 re-opening.
We understand many businesses and customers are still anxiously awaiting more openings. We are here to help in this time of added caution.

I think you can agree that we’re beginning to exude creativity when it comes to our personal protective equipment (PPEs). Officers are issued masks, but some have taken creating their own to a whole new level. Enjoy the metal interlude. #eddie#ironmaiden#aceshigh#motorcops

Our new South #Asheville Patrol District (David) has a new resource center! We've moved from our co-location with Skyland Fire to 9 Walden Ridge Dr.! The location, like all resource centers, isn't staffed 24/7, as officers spend most of their shifts out & about in the #community.
Today we say farewell to Det Joseph Crean after 30 yrs of service to the Town of Cheektowaga. Det. Crean, your CPD family will miss you & wish you good health, good luck & relaxation in this new chapter ahead! Thank you for your dedicated service to the Town and your country! 🇺🇸
We cannot express our gratitude enough for the outpouring of generosity we have experienced from the #community. #Asheville you've outdone yourselves...again! This time a big #THANKYOU goes to @GETaqueria for the donation of lunch for our Charlie District officers!
Thank you Gabe's for the gift baskets that were dropped off at APD today for our officers! We are so #thankful to be a part of a #community that has shown our department so much appreciation during this pandemic. #Asheville
"Luke, I am your Property and Evidence Technician." APD employees are beginning to get very creative with their personal protective equipment. #stopthespread#maskup
