Our QDR Hometown Hero of the week is Brian O’Branovich, Lieutenant for the Johnston County Sheriff Department.
Brian, or OB as all of his first responder friends know him as, serves as Lieutenant of the Johnston County Sheriff Department’s SAFE (Sheriff’s Aggressive Field Enforcement)team. He was formerly a Lieutenant for the Smithfield Police Department, where he served for 20 years. He was a K9 officer and worked with 2 K9’s, Goose and Karuz. He also received his Bachelor’s degree in Emergency Management, while still working his regular 12-hour shifts! He also has served as Vice President and Secretary for the Johnston County Lodge 88 FOP (Fraternal Order of Police.) He truly has a heart for our community and leads with compassion and integrity.
Thank you, Brian, for your service! As a token of our appreciation, we’re sending you a $50 gift card to Smithfield’s Chicken ‘N Bar-B-Q to thank you for all you do.
