In the first hour we spoke with 4 respected members of Orange County Law Enforcement: Retired Captain Mike Doby, Deputy Chief Lovetta Quinn Henry, Captain Don Woods, and Former Chief of Corrections Cornita Riley. N.O.B.L.E is committed to addressing pressing issues and allowing a national voice and agenda for our community. When it comes to “black wearing blue”, Lovetta Henry emphasizes the importance of communities having someone “tangible” to reach out to. There is an urgency for participation in organizations such as NOBLE, for people who honor connection with the community and understand how to help. www.NobleCFL.org for memberships and more information.
