Police Chief: Officers Ready To Protect Protesters, Property

Goldsboro Police Chief Mike West says, overall, he was pleased with the outcome from Sunday night’s protests in Downtown Goldsboro.

While talking with Goldsboro Daily News, Chief West says there were only a few reports of damage and just one person not affiliated with the demonstrators was arrested.

West says the police should be “the safety net for the protesters,” with the goals of making sure attendees stay safe while also protecting businesses and property.

Chief West says officers will be back watching the Downtown Goldsboro area this evening as talk of another demonstration continue on social media.
