Hometown Hero of the Week

Hometown Hero of the Week: Jeffrey Best, February 5th, 2024

Hometown Hero of the Week: Jeffrey Best, February 5th, 2024

Our QDR Hometown Hero of the week is Jeffrey Best, Officer with the Harnett County Sheriff’s Office and a Chief in the United State Coast Guard.

Jeff works for the Harnett County Sheriff’s Office and is a Chief in the United States Coast Guard. He is the most selfless person and gives 110% to the people he serves in both the community and the United States. Jeff never wants the spotlight to be on him, but he deserves it. Jeff has been married to his wife Maranda for 20 years, and they have three kids. 

Thank you, Jeff, 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.
