From late 2010 to the summer of 2016, Joe Harris played professional basketball around the globe.
The former Coastal Carolina star’s multitude of teams included Cader, B.C. Prievidza, the Salon Vilpas Vikings, Bakken Bears and Ovarense Aerosoles stretching from South America to Scandinavia.
Now that he’s settled on a more permanent career and a home in Myrtle Beach, Harris’ new team is the Georgetown County Sheriff’s department.
He graduated in May from the South Carolina Criminal Justice Academy and has become a sheriff’s patrol deputy in Georgetown County.
“I thought what better way to serve your country and kind of give back and deal with people every day and help people than to patrol … and just being there for people when they need somebody,” Harris said.
