I would love to know if this officer had any family living near Sanford NC in the early to mid 90's. The reason I ask; In 1994 I attended BLET at Central Carolina Community College in Sanford, NC. At graduation, I received an award for being the Class Sharpshooter. I received the Officer J.J. Collins Jr award. Doing my research, I was hoping Sgt. Collins was the person named for the award. If it is, it was an honor receiving an award bearing his name.
