Haywood County Cares — Erica Bass

Haywood County Cares — Erica Bass

Trooper Erica Bass has been with the North Carolina State Highway Patrol since 2008; 10 of those years have been here in Haywood County.

Bass said that during this unusual time, the Highway Patrol has remained vigilant in its visibility and enforcement efforts. The one significant change to the daily routine is the use of hand sanitizer and personal protective equipment while on patrol. The health and safety of the North Carolina public are our number one priority, she said.

“I’m grateful that I’m able to continue to do my job and serve the community in these uncertain times. It’s my hope that our presence can bring a level of comfort to the people of our county. I also want to thank the community for the continued support of all law enforcement,” said Bass.
