Remembering September 11, 2001.

Together with the community, the City of Sanford gathered at Depot Park for a 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony to honor and remember the lives lost, the heroes who served, and all those whose lives were forever changed.

Father Craig Lister opened and closed the ceremony with prayer and Mayor Pro Tem Byron Buckels read a September 11, 2001 25th anniversary proclamation.

Sanford Fire Chief Matt Arnold and 9-1-1 Telecommunications Supervisor Daryl Kirby shared remarks on behalf of the public safety community before the Sanford Police Department Honor Guard raised and lowered the U.S. flag.

Thank you to everyone who took time today to reflect on the courage, sacrifice, and unity that September 11 represents.

We will never forget. 🇺🇸

Twenty-five years later, we pause to remember the lives forever changed by the tragic events of September 11, 2001.

Today we honor the nearly 3,000 innocent lives lost, the police officers, firefighters, emergency responders, and countless civilians who made the ultimate sacrifice, and the brave men and women who answered the call without hesitation.

We remember the fallen.
We honor the heroes.
We stand with their families.
We will NEVER FORGET

BOOZE IT & LOSE IT — DRIVE SOBER, ARRIVE ALIVE

This Labor Day weekend, the Sanford Police Department is joining law enforcement agencies across North Carolina in the Booze It & Lose It campaign, supported by the Governor’s Highway Safety Program.

If you’re drinking, don’t drive. Plan ahead:
âś… Designate a sober driver
âś… Use a rideshare or taxi
âś… Get a ride from a friend or family member
âś… Never get behind the wheel impaired

DWI doesn’t just put your life at risk—it puts everyone on the road at risk. A night of drinking should never end with a crash, an arrest, or a tragedy.

Sanford Police Department will be out working to keep our roads safe.

Booze It & Lose It. Drive Sober. Save Lives.
