My name is John Yopp and I am running for Onslow County Sheriff as a Republican Candidate.
I am a lifelong resident of Onslow County. I care deeply about the people that live in our community. My family has been living in Onslow County, NC since the 1790s. We even have a road named after us, Yopp Road. We are known as a hardworking and reliable family willing to help and serve our fellow citizens. For the past 20 years, I have faithfully dedicated my life to serving the people in this community.
On September 11th, 2001, I had an interview with the Onslow County Sheriff’s Office. While in the waiting room, I watched the atrocious acts of terrorism unfold in New York City on the tv screen. Despite the chaos, danger, and imminent threat, I watched the selfless bravery of police officers, EMS workers, and firefighters, as they ran into doomed buildings to save people they didn’t even know, and this strengthened my commitment and propensity to serve.
In 2001, I began serving as a Correctional Officer in the Onslow County Jail. From there, I assumed the role of patrol deputy for the Onslow County Sheriff’s Office and continued to work there for several years. I am currently a Sergeant for the North Topsail Beach Police Department. My entire law enforcement career has been spent working in Onslow County, doing my best to ensure the best possible outcome for each and every citizen I have been called to serve.
