On the one-year anniversary of his death, an eastern North Carolina community honored its former lead telecommunicator – a 24-year veteran of the Greenville Police Department – by turning the Greene Street Bridge gold.
Much like the thin blue line represents law enforcement officers, a thin gold line symbolizes emergency dispatchers, and the Greene Street Bridge in Greenville was awash in gold light in honor of Brad Cayton, who died unexpectedly last year.
His niece thanked the Greenville Recreation and Parks Department for the tribute.
She said it also represents, “All emergency dispatchers, the calm voices in times of chaos, the ones who keep watch over our officers and emergency responders, and our behind-the-scenes heroes.”
