The Chronicle
Statement from Sheriff Bobby F.
Kimbrough, Jr.
SUBMITTED ARTICLE
While we recognize it
is political season, we at
the Forsyth County Sher
iff’s Office resent untrue
statements and would like
to present the facts once
again. We encourage you
to fact check us.
Since taking office, we
have not released one - not
even one - violent crimi
nal back into our commu
nity that was requested to
be held by ICE. According
to an ICE agent, he (Kim
brough) has a “phenom
enal working relationship”
with us. Currently we have
a Task Force Officer as
signed to work with ICE
on violent crimes, human
trafficking, and drug re
lated crimes.
In addition to that, it
should be known that For
syth County and the city
of Winston-Salem is THE
safest city/county in the
state of North Carolina. It
is because of the relation
ship and the balancing
act between what is right,
what is moral, and what is
legal, that these relation
ships exist.
Do not be drawn in by
rhetoric and untrue state
ments that this js- a sanctu
ary city/county, or urban
city/county, but let it be
known it is the safest city/
county in the state ofNorth
Carolina. And it should be
known that the District At
torney’s office, the ICE of
fice, and the Forsyth Coun
ty Sheriff’s office work
together to balance the
concerns, needs and safety
issues of this county.
The Forsyth County
Sheriff’s office will con
tinue to serve this com
munity without violating
anyone’s rights and will do
so by doing what is ethi
cal, what is moral, what
is legal, and what is right.
So please do not be moved
by politicians using poli-
tricks to effect the relation
ships that currently exist in
THIS county.
Respectfully submit
ted,
Not the urban sheriff,
not the sanctuary sher
iff, but the Sheriff elected
by the people of Forsyth
County: Bobby F. Kim
brough, Jr.
