Greenville Police Department honors fallen officers during Police Week
GREENVILE, N.C. (WNCT) — May 11-May 17, 2025, marks Police Week, a time to honor and remember officers who have fallen in the line of duty.
The Greenville Police Department has lost three officers in the line of service, in which they paid tribute to them with a wreath ceremony held on Wednesday, May 14.
Officer Joseph Nobles was killed in 1926, Officer Jessie Mills died in 1952, and the most recent loss was Officer Jason Campbell, who passed away in 2007.
'There wasn't much he didn't do. He was on the SWAT team, K-9 unit, underwater crime scene investigations, and patrol. He was extremely hardworking and driven, and although he had a lot of different jobs, he made being a father the most important,' the daughter of Officer Jason Campbell, Ashley Campbell said.
Ashley and her mother gathered at the Greenville Police Department on Wednesday to honor him.
'He was a great guy, man. He was the kind of guy that everybody wanted to work with, to be honest with you. The community loved him, officers loved him. He did a fantastic job. He went in there day in and day out and represented the City of Greenville,' said Interim Chief Richard Tyndall of the Greenville Police Department.
The fallen officers were honored by placing a rose for each on a wreath, followed by a moment of silence. The Greenville Police Department ensures these officers are remembered not just during Police Week, but every day. They also maintain a close relationship with the Campbell family.
'It means the world to me that they still honor him. Although he's been gone for 18 years, he's not forgotten, and everybody talks about him like he's still here,' Ashley Campbell said.

House GOP summons five more Biden aides in probe of health coverup
WASHINGTON — House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer broadened his investigation of the alleged coverup of President Biden's mental decline Wednesday with interview requests for five more former White House advisers. Comer (R-Ky.) is requesting closed-door transcribed interviews with former White House chief of staff Ron Klain, former de facto West Wing communications chief Anita Dunn and longtime Biden advisers Bruce Reed, Mike Donilon and Steve Ricchetti. 3 House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer is expanding his panel's investigation of the alleged coverup of President Biden's mental decline. CQ-Roll Call, Inc via Getty Images Advertisement 'The American people deserve full transparency and the House Oversight Committee is conducting a thorough investigation to provide answers and accountability,' Comer said. 'The cover-up of President Biden's mental decline is one of the greatest scandals in our nation's history. These five former senior advisors were eyewitnesses to President Biden's condition and operations within the Biden White House. They must appear before the House Oversight Committee and provide truthful answers about President Biden's cognitive state and who was calling the shots.' The oversight panel already has requested interviews with Biden's presidential physician Dr. Kevin O'Connor, first lady Jill Biden's former chief of staff Anthony Bernal and the president's former West Wing aides Annie Tomasini, Neera Tanden and Ashley Williams.

EPA The initial cohort are in the process of setting dates for their sit-downs — under the threat of subpoenas if they balk at the request. Questioning by Comer's staff is likely to touch on President Trump's allegation that documents auto-penned during Biden's tenure may have been signed without his knowledge — a contention that currently lacks solid evidence despite some former Biden aides finding the theory plausible. Advertisement Comer previously led a far-reaching inquiry into Joe Biden's role in his son Hunter Biden and brother James Biden's international consulting work during and after their powerful relative's eight-year vice presidency — with that probe turning up evidence that Biden repeatedly interacted with his family's foreign associates in nations where he steered US policy, such as China and Ukraine, despite his public denials. The ongoing House probe is likely to expand to even more former Biden officials. Although former presidents can assert executive privilege over their communications with advisers, the current White House occupant — Trump — is able to override such immunity from questioning.
