ROCKWELL -- Rockwell resident and Salisbury Police officer Timothy Justin Crews is looking out for the employees, he said, as he makes his first bid for alderman.

His prime concern is helping employees get better pay and better benefits, he said.

"I want to help the town of Rockwell grow by being a voice for the community and its employees," Crews said.

Although this would be his first run for an elected office, he said he brings with him life experiences.

"I live in Rockwell and I know what needs to be done to help the city grow," Crews said.

A 1994 graduate of East Rowan High School, Crews, 32, has been in law enforcement for 10 years and has been with the Salisbury Police Department since 1999.

He is member of the Salisbury-Rowan Fraternal Order of the Police.

Crews lives on Gold Hill Avenue with his wife, Misty, their daughter, Lily, 4, and son Jett, 1.
