1. Get to know retired United States Air Force Special Agent Charles Attardo a little better. According to a very kind write-up about him and his community contributions on the Mooresville Police Department Facebook page, "around town, people know Attardo as “The Laminator” or “God’s UPS Man.” Attardo makes it his mission to connect with local law enforcement agencies, schools and many others in our community to laminate important items from local papers for the organizations so that they can keep it forever. Attardo stops by MPD every week to deliver the laminated items. He, like many others, is one of many individuals who may not wear a uniform but who support MPD and ensure our staff are able to serve our community. When you see him around town, make sure you say hi! Thank you for all that you do for our community!" (Mooresville Police Department via Facebook)
