Creed Ink Issue #1

A Public Service Announcement...of sorts! The band become Honorary Orange County Deputy Sheriffs

October 2001 - Orlando, Florida:

They joked as they walked out of the Orange County Sheriff's Department, Who is Crockett and who's Tubbs?" But the band knew that the ceremony was of a more serious nature. Sheriff Kevin Berry invited the three band members and management to the Department to show his gratitude for their assistance.

"You gentlemen don't know how much this means to the Department and the people that will be watching these." The Sheriff explained to the band. Your music will make these instructional videos that much more credible and familiar to them."

The band contributed their time and musical resources to a variety of instructional and training videos for the Sheriff's Office. They spent the afternoon with Sheriff Berry discussing their local backgrounds, and their desire to help the force in whatever ways necessary.

"How about going out on some stings with you," joked Stapp during the meeting.

"I'll take you guys out with me during one of our week-end sweeps," the Sheriff acknowledged.

"Can I bring one of my guns?" Stapp laughed.

Just be careful if you're attempting to scalp a Creed ticket on tour this year. Deputy Sheriff Stapp may be looking over your shoulder!
