  North Carolina County Government   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
In the exercise of ordinary government functions, [counties] are simply agencies of the State, constituted for the convenience of local administration in certain portions of the State's territory, and in the exercise of such functions they are subject to almost unlimited legislative control, except when the power is restricted by constitutional provisions.
Mecklenburg County, [198 N.C. 880 (1930)], the court stated that "the weight of authority is to effect that all the powers and functions of a county bear reference to the general policy of the State, and are in fact an integral portion of the general administration of State policy.
Historically, the primary purpose for erecting a county was to serve state purposes and to perform state functions in a given area rather than to serve the purposes of a particular geographic community.

State government is uniquely positioned to see that relationships across sectors and among the various levels of government are reoriented in ways that improve outcomes for children and their families.

 POLICE DEPARTMENT LEADERSHIP - IACP Official Recommendations
In addition, there has been a graying of the department with the majority of the existing leaders in the Baby Boomer generation (those born between 1943 and 1960) all reaching retirement age at or about the same time.
