David Baldwin of Moyock told the Board of Commissioners on May 19 that Currituck County needs to move more quickly to fill a vacant Veterans Service Officer post after the prior officer’s sudden departure.
“ There is still a lot of veterans in Currituck County that need help,” Baldwin said, describing clients who rely on a veterans affairs officer for benefits assistance and expressing frustration with delays. Baldwin said he provided a candidate’s resume to county leadership and encouraged the board to expedite hiring.
A commissioner responded that county staff are in the hiring process and encouraged Baldwin and other community members to submit resumes to the county manager so applicants can be added to the recruitment pool. Baldwin and others said they had been helped in the past by interagency arrangements (examples raised included outreach done through the sheriff’s office) but asked for a permanent county‑based VSO to return.
County leaders told Baldwin the position would be filled and that staff were reviewing applications.
