Norcross Honors Police at Annual Dinner
The Norcross PD Foundation held its fourth annual appreciation dinner for the city police department.
Saturday evening marked the fourth annual Norcross Police Department Appreciation and Awards Dinner Ceremony.
Locals and Norcross Police members attended the awards dinner, which was hosted by and steered by the Norcross Police Department Foundation. Sedric Drew was the Master of Ceremonies, and Mayor Bucky Johnson and Norcross Police Chief Warren Summers announced awards.
Summers officially took the position as chief last December, so this year was his first year giving awards.

No one says, 'We appreciate you,'" said Hopewell's Bishop William L. Sheals as the guest speaker for the evening. "That's why we're here tonight."
