Fund set up to help injured Cary officer
Local police officers are raising money to help a Cary officer who was injured last week in a motorcycle crash.
The Cary chapter of the N.C. Police Benevolent Association set up a text-message donation system, a website and a Wachovia bank fund to support Chad Penland and his family as the officer recovers from serious injuries sustained during the Friday crash.
“We’re a close-knit family,” said Randy Byrd, president of the Cary PBA chapter. “When one of our own is hurt, injured or killed, we always rally.”
Enjoy that retirement, Jade!
The career of one of the most successful members of the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Department has come to an end.
Jade, a German Shepherd who has been a narcotics detection K9 deputy with the department for more than eight years, retired Monday.

Pennsylvania Teenagers Attending State Police Honor Camp
A select group of 48 teenagers from across Pennsylvaniais learning about state police operations and government through the annual Commissioner’s Honors Camp, being held this week at the State Police Academy in Hershey.
The cadets, aged 13-18, were selected from among more than 1,500 boys and girls who participated in local Camp Cadet programs last summer.
“The local Camp Cadet programs give young people a positive attitude toward the law enforcement profession through exposure to the criminal justice system from a police cadet’s point of view,” State Police Commissioner Frank Noonan said. “The Honor Camp is designed to build leadership qualities and teach the youngsters more about the department and state government.”

Mother, daughter, and father are fine and are currently at Mount Auburn Hospital in Cambridge, which was their original destination. The family was identified as Mark and Nancy Bonassera, who are now the parents of a girl they have named Gabriella.
