This closure includes all branches of the Wayne County Public Library, Peggy M. Seegars Senior Center, Wayne County Animal Shelter, and the Wayne County Landfill and convenience centers.

Wayne County EMS and the Wayne County Sheriff's Office, NC have partnered to reduce cardiac arrest response times with County-funded AEDs in 20 patrol vehicles. This investment, combined with deputy training in AED use, CPR, and Stop the Bleed techniques, ensures faster lifesaving care when every second counts. When a 911 call comes in, dispatchers can now identify if a deputy is nearby and send them to provide aid before EMS arrives. “This partnership is another great example of the Wayne County public safety community’s dedication towards protecting its citizens and those who visit our county,” said EMS Director Dave Cuddeback.
