This week’s Hometown Hero is Chapel Hill Police special events officer Phil Smith!

Ron Stutts spoke with Police Chief and Executive Director for Community Safety Chris Blue about the impact that Phil has had on the community and the valuable work that he does for special events in the area.

“For a number of years now, Phil has been in charge of our special events for the Town of Chapel Hill and of course he’s part of a multi-disciplinary team that does that for Halloween and Festifall, road races or charity walks that we have. But he’s often times the leader of that team and been doing that for 10-12 years now.”
