Police in one North Carolina community are putting new decals on their patrol cars that are creating some controversy.

The department received the new logos for its cars with the words "In God We Trust." The words can also be found on China Grove Fire Department vehicles and on the wall at the China Grove Town Hall.

The department posted a photo on its Facebook page that has received a lot of attention.

They posted a follow-up post saying it respects everyone’s opinions, “even if we may disagree with those opinions.”

"If they don't like it they don't have to come to China Grove," Mayor Pro Tem said defending the new motto on the police cars.

Channel 9 reporter Ken Lemon is working to learn more about this situation.
