(Wentworth, NC) – Rockingham County Sheriff Sam Page has accepted the invitation of Sheriff B.J. Roberts (President of the National Sheriff’s Association) to serve on the IMMIGRATION AND BORDER SECURITY COMMITTEE.


Sheriff Page is current President of the North Carolina Sheriffs’ Association which acts as an advocate for Sheriffs’ Offices around the state by monitoring actions of the General Assembly, courts and other government agencies which affect the criminal justice system.

Border security remains a priority for Sheriffs as they aim to enhance our border security and immigration, with focus on its relation to National and Homeland Security. This committee is under the Chairmanship of Sheriff Larry Dever of Cochise County Arizona.

Sheriff Page: “Our porous borders contribute to drug trafficking, human trafficking and illegal immigrations. I am concerned about the effects the problem presents to our homeland security. I intend to represent local concerns as we seek to secure our borders in the interest of public safety.â€
