One Brunswick…Service Before Self That isn’t a slogan…it’s a standard. It means leadership that puts the community ahead of ego. It means showing up when it’s hard, listening when it’s uncomfortable, and making decisions based on what serves the whole county, not what benefits a few. Brunswick County is growing and changing, and with that growth comes responsibility. Responsibility to protect our neighborhoods, to respect our neighbors, and to steward this community with care and integrity. Public service means being accountable, being prepared, and being willing to put the work above personal ambition. That’s the kind of leadership I believe in. That’s the kind of Sheriff Brunswick County deserves. As we approach early voting, I ask you to reflect on what service really looks like and to support leadership grounded in duty, humility, and commitment.

Questions & Answers - Coverage Gaps in Brunswick County Q: Are there areas of Brunswick County that need better Sheriff’s Office coverage? Yes. Brunswick County has grown rapidly, and law-enforcement coverage must evolve with that growth. Rural communities, fast-developing residential areas, and unincorporated parts of the county can sometimes experience longer response times or reduced visibility, not because they matter less, but because resources have not kept pace with expansion. As Sheriff, I will use data-driven deployment to identify gaps in coverage looking at call volume, response times, population growth, and geographic challenges. The goal is to ensure that no community feels overlooked, whether they live near the coast, inland rural areas, or newly developed neighborhoods. Coverage is not just about patrol presence. It also includes access to investigators, community engagement, and consistent communication. When residents see deputies regularly and know who to contact, trust improves and crime prevention becomes more effective. Public safety works best when every part of the county is seen, served, and protected, not just the most populated areas. #electtimdanielsforsheriff #electtimdanielssheriff Pol Adv pd by Tim Daniels for Sheriff Campaign • Political views expressed are those of the sponsor  📬 The Kindred Spirit Mailbox Bird Island’s Quiet Place Where the World Whispers Back By Bay Area Entertainer | Coastal Stories That Matter There are places along the coast that don’t advertise themselves. They don’t have signs, gift shops, or crowds waiting in line. You only find them if you slow down — and The Kindred Spirit Mailbox is one of those places. Tucked away on Bird Island, an undeveloped barrier island just beyond Sunset Beach, this weather-worn mailbox has been quietly collecting human stories for more than 40 years. It’s reachable only on foot, across sand and shoreline, and that walk is part of the experience. Locals know: this isn’t just a mailbox. It’s a conversation with the coast. 🌊 A Walk That Changes Your Pace — and Your Perspective Local truth: You don’t rush to the Kindred Spirit Mailbox. To reach it, you walk the beach. No shortcuts. No noise. Just the rhythm of waves, seabirds overhead, and the feeling that you’re stepping away from the world you came from. When you finally spot the mailbox — standing alone among dunes — there’s a sense that you’ve arrived somewhere sacred in a very quiet way. “The mailbox doesn’t shout. It waits.” 📖 Forty Years of Hopes, Secrets, and Gratitude Inside the mailbox are journals — dozens of them — filled edge to edge with handwritten messages from strangers. Some are joyful. Some are heavy. Some are confessions never spoken out loud before. Visitors write about:
You can write your own. Or you can simply sit and listen to the wind. “People leave pieces of themselves here — and somehow feel lighter afterward.” 🏝️ Bird Island: Protected, Quiet, and Untouched Bird Island itself is a North Carolina Coastal Reserve, protected to remain undeveloped. That protection is what allows places like the Kindred Spirit Mailbox to exist without being commercialized or crowded. There are no facilities, no signage, and no distractions — just nature doing what it’s always done. Local tip: Visit early morning or near sunset for the most peaceful experience. 💙 Why Locals Keep This Place Close to the Heart For residents of Brunswick County, the Kindred Spirit Mailbox is more than a destination — it’s a reminder. A reminder to:
“You don’t leave the Kindred Spirit Mailbox unchanged — even if you can’t explain why.” 📍 How to Visit + Resource Links The Kindred Spirit Mailbox 📍 Location: Bird Island Reserve (walk east from Sunset Beach access points) 🚶 Access: Walking only — no vehicles permitted ⏰ Hours: Sunrise to sunset Bird Island Reserve Info 🌐 https://www.ncparks.gov/state-parks/bird-island-reserve 🌐 https://www.ncbrunswick.com/things-to-do/outdoors/bird-island/ Sunset Beach Town Information 🌐 https://www.sunsetbeachnc.gov 📞 (910) 579-6297 North Carolina Coastal Reserve 🌐 https://www.nccoastalreserve.net 🌊 Bay Area Entertainer Take away In a world full of noise, the Kindred Spirit Mailbox has survived for decades by doing the opposite — by listening.

Questions & Answers — Response Time and Investigations Q: What is your approach to response time for property theft, scams, and other investigative cases? As Sheriff, my responsibility is to ensure that every report is taken seriously, even when the incident is not an emergency in progress. Property theft, financial scams, fraud, and similar crimes can have lasting financial and emotional impacts on families, seniors, and small businesses. My approach focuses on prioritization, accountability, and follow-through. Not every call requires the same response speed, but every case requires timely documentation, investigative review, and communication with the victim. That means ensuring reports are taken promptly, cases are assigned appropriately, and residents are kept informed about next steps. Equally important is prevention using data to identify patterns, educating the public about emerging scams, and coordinating with state and federal partners when crimes cross county or state lines. Effective law enforcement is not just about sirens and blue lights; it’s about professional investigations, consistent response standards, and restoring trust when people feel violated or targeted.

And now, several states in the South have begun to expand worker access to these critical benefits. On January 20, the Economic Policy Institute’s EARN in the South network — a coalition of Southern policy, research and grassroots organizations — held a virtual press conference highlighting 2026 opportunities to expand paid leave policies in Southern states. In particular, Virginia is poised to become the first state in the South to enact comprehensive paid family and medical leave legislation. Speakers celebrated the promise of Virginia’s proposed legislation and noted that for too long, Southern states have fallen behind as states in other regions have begun to implement comprehensive paid leave programs. “At some point throughout our lives, all of us will need time off work to care for a loved one or receive care ourselves. Whether you are welcoming a new child, caring for an aging parent, or going through cancer treatment, you shouldn’t have to worry about missing a paycheck or even losing your job,” said Feroza Freeland, policy director at A Better Balance. The press conference, which included paid leave policy experts from A Better Balance, 9to5 and the National Collaborative for Infants and Toddlers, illustrated the importance of paid leave for Southern working families and small businesses, and the urgency of expanding paid leave to improve maternal health. It was also a celebration of recent breakthroughs, including paid parental and sick leave policies in states like Alabama, Georgia and Texas, demonstrating the fertile ground for more paid leave policies to progress in other parts of the region. “Southern workers should not be forced to choose between their livelihood and the health and well-being of themselves or their loved ones,” said Keesa Smith-Brantley, executive director of Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families. Experts emphasize that paid leave policies are not only good for individuals and families, they’re good for business and the economy. To advocate for paid family and medical leave policies in your state and across the country, sign up with the National Collaborative for Infants & Toddlers at ncit.org. “A state-run paid family and medical leave program would level the playing field for small businesses, allowing them to better compete with big businesses that can afford to offer this benefit,” said Rachel Shanklin, Georgia director for Small Business Majority. “Additionally, paid leave enhances productivity and improves workplace morale. Offering paid leave isn’t just the right thing to do — it also makes good business sense.” ----------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------- PHOTO SOURCE: (c) ardasavasciogullari / iStock via Getty Images Plus Pol Adv pd by Tim Daniels for Sheriff Campaign • Political views expressed are those of the sponsor  Take Extra Measures to Help Prevent Check Fraud BRUNSWICK COUNTY NORTH CARLIONA (StatePoint) The use of checks may be declining, but check crimes are actually on the rise due to new, creative criminal schemes. Once a check is stolen, it can be altered or signed on your behalf to withdraw money from your account, and there are online marketplaces where criminals will sell stolen checks for other criminals to use for fraud. Luckily, there are steps you can take to protect yourself: • Pay Digitally. Reduce the number of checks you send and utilize card or digital payment methods instead. Consider using check fraud prevention services like Positive Pay, if available at your financial institution. • Go to the Post Office. If you must mail a check, use the secure mailbox inside a USPS facility or hand the envelope over to a postal worker who can mail it for you. • Follow Up. If you mail a check, confirm with the payee that they received it. • Monitor Accounts. Set up account alerts and review statements regularly. Most banks will provide an option for an image of each check to be viewable on statements. Cross-reference this image to ensure that the check processed is identical to the one you wrote. • Report Quickly. Approximately 50% of stolen check images are posted online for sale within eight days of theft. Criminals act fast, and you need to act fast, too, to stop them in their tracks. As soon as you identify an account or payment anomaly, notify your bank to put a stop payment on the check and a freeze on your account. File a police report and submit a separate report with the Federal Trade Commission. Keep a record of all conversations, reports and correspondence in case later problems arise. Methods of fraud continue to evolve, and a simple check can be used in a variety of ways to commit theft. For instance, criminals can create fraudulent checks using your account information and sign your name. Or they could copy down your account information and use it for fraudulent purposes digitally or otherwise. Mail theft-related check fraud – where a check is stolen while enroute – accounts for hundreds of millions of dollars in attempted theft annually. Here are some of the most common fraud methods used: Account Theft. Checks are used to steal account information details to either steal money directly or fraudulently open additional accounts. Forgery. Criminals have long forged the legitimate signature or altered the payee or amount on a check. However, artificial intelligence (AI) is making it easier than ever to do so with accuracy. Check Washing. Criminals “wash” a check, using chemicals like acetone or bleach to erase the payee and amount, then rewrite the check to themselves for their amount of choice. Counterfeits. Criminals create entirely fake checks that look real using stolen account information. Check Return Schemes. Criminals will send what they claim is a paycheck or other payment by way of a check where they “overpay.” They ask you to deposit it, then return the “extra” money back before it’s discovered that the check is fake. For more fraud prevention information, visit PNC’s Security and Privacy Center. Safe handling of checks may not only protect against theft but also defend against more widespread account compromise. ***** ----------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------- PHOTO SOURCE: (c) AndreyPopov / iStock via Getty Images Plus Pol Adv pd by Tim Daniels for Sheriff Campaign • Political views expressed are those of the sponsor Tim Daniels for Sheriff · Across North Carolina, 17 sitting sheriffs previously served in the Highway Patrol.

Experience & Judgment When decisions affect lives, experience matters and so does judgment. As a candidate for Sheriff, I believe the most important quality a Sheriff brings to the office is judgment shaped by experience. Public safety leadership isn’t theoretical. It’s built through years of training, responsibility, and understanding how decisions play out in real time often under pressure and with limited margins for error. Judgment comes from having seen enough to know when to act quickly, when to slow down, and when to listen. It’s knowing that every decision has consequences for deputies, families, and the broader community. That level of discernment can’t be improvised, it’s earned. Brunswick County deserves leadership grounded in experience and guided by sound judgment, especially when the stakes are high. #electtimdanielssheriff #electtimdanielsforsheriff |
