The late Al Craven, a longtime law enforcement officer with the Siler City Police Department, was honored the Chatham County Law Enforcement Officer’s Association on Jan. 3 when the group presented a plaque to Alice Craven in memory of her husband’s service.
Siler City Mayor John Grimes read the plaque to Alice and her family members during the ceremony.
It read: “In Memory of Major Alphonso Craven, Jr. for his more than 40 Years of Service and Leadership with Honor and Distinction to the Chatham County Law Enforcement Officer’s Association.”
Also, as a tribute to Craven; the Association’s President, Mike Koszulinski, dedicated a “Memory Wall” inside its building, on Rives Chapel Church Road.
The wall -- painted white with a blue line through it – sports an identical plaque in honor of Craven as the inaugural plaque on the wall.
