In a world that never stops changing, Buckshot Smith was a constant in Camden. He began serving his town without pay, simply because he cared. What started as volunteer work grew into an incredible 65-year commitment to protecting and uplifting his community.

His philosophy was simple but powerful: “I’ve taken more people home than I’ve taken to jail.” 🚔 That mindset defined his career.

He wasn’t just enforcing the law—he was guiding teenagers, watching over school crossings, checking in on neighbors, and offering steady reassurance to generations of families. 🏫✨

Buckshot served well into his nineties, becoming a living symbol of dedication and heart. When he passed away at 95, Camden didn’t just lose an officer—they lost a mentor, a protector, and a piece of their town’s soul. 🇺🇸🙏

His legacy proves that true authority isn’t about power or recognition—it’s about compassion, consistency, and showing up year after year for the people who depend on you.
