BALDWIN COUNTY, Ga. — People in Baldwin County were given the chance to address concerns and ask questions to city and county officials thanks to their NAACP chapter.
"We are a voice for the voiceless," Cynthia Ward Edwards said.
Edwards has been the president of the Baldwin County NAACP for six years. She said they gave the voiceless a place to be heard at their annual public forum.
"What we want to do tonight is just kind of build a bridge between the community and our law enforcement and our government officials," Edwards said.
Those in attendance included the Baldwin County Sheriff, Milledgeville Police, the District Attorney, the Superintendent and more.
Baldwin County Sheriff, Bill Massee, addressed unsolved homicide concerns by saying there haven't been any new unsolved homicides since last year's meeting. He said flock cameras are playing a big part in that.

"I'm a tell you this flock camera. We had two cars that time of night we quickly eliminated one. Within 48 hours we had four people under arrest," Massee said.
Milledgeville Police Mjr. Linc Boyer informed the public that several 2015 unsolved homicides are now making progress because of the investment in technology.
"Had we had the technology that we have today, we have stood a greater chance to solve those homicides," Boyer said.
Diquan Key was killed nine years ago and his family is still looking for answers. His mother attended the meeting on his 30th birthday asking people to speak up about what happened.
"My son soul cannot rest, so y'all please help me…I'm begging," Warren said.
After the meeting, law enforcement spoke with Warren and other families who are still waiting for progress in an unsolved homicide. Edwards hopes these meetings can improve the connection between the community and officials
"Hopefully we were able to ease some of the tension some of the community members and law enforcement have with each other," Edwards said.
The Baldwin County NAACP chapter said people don't have to wait for the annual meeting to ask questions. They encourage people to reach out with questions or concerns, so they can get those questions to the right people and hopefully find answers.
