It’s not often the town of Edenton sends thank you notes to Bertie County, however, they should send a belated thank you note for Edenton Police Chief David LaFon.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Chief Billy Ivey's family and Rich Square Fire Department.

Today, at 2:25 p.m., Chief William “Billy” Ivey went home to be with the Lord. Chief Ivey honorably led our department for 22 years, dedicating his life to serving this community and those around him. His legacy of servant leadership, unwavering commitment, and genuine care for others will live on in the hearts and minds of the men who served alongside him and were blessed to call him Chief and friend.

Please continue to keep Mrs. Sara Ivey and the entire Ivey family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Chief, rest easy knowing we will carry the torch forward. We will finish what you started and continue dedicating ourselves to serving this community with the same commitment and heart you showed every day.
