DOUG TUXBURY – COMMUNITY WATCH OF PINEHURST & GEORGE NORFLEET “THE BAT MAN”.

Doug is back after being a guest on the show 3 years ago to update us on the Community Watch of Pinehurst program and his involvement in that organization over that time.  Doug retired to Pinehurst in 2011 after 34 years of experience in the Secret Service and the Drug Enforcement Administration.  Today, Doug works as a consultant for Central Security Systems of Southern Pines.  In one way or the other Doug is trying to have a positive impact on the safety of his Moore County neighbors.

George Norfleet, The Bat Man, speaks about another type of control or prevention.  George is best known in Moore County for his humane treatment of animals and their removal from homes or business.  Whether they be raccoons, snakes, squirrels, bats or possums, George is a valued vendor used by many real estate professionals to help alleviate unwanted animal intrusion in someone’s attic or crawl space.

George is also a chimney sweep and he touches some of the concerns for homeowners, buyers & sellers.
