We come to our Madison community once again asking for your thoughts and prayers for the family, friends, and coworkers of Forsyth County Deputy Kaleb Mitchell. Deputy Mitchell tragically lost his life in the line of duty this weekend.

Over the past two weeks, we have been painfully reminded just how much our law enforcement officers sacrifice and the risks they face every time they put on the uniform and start their shift. These men and women leave their homes and families not knowing what the day may bring, yet they continue to serve with courage and dedication.

We ask our community to join us in honoring Deputy Mitchell’s life and service by keeping his loved ones and the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.

We ask that our Madison community join us in keeping Master Trooper Perry’s family, friends, and fellow Troopers in your thoughts and prayers.

As the snowstorm continues, your safety remains our top priority.

-Calling 911 only for emergencies
-Calling (336) 634-3300 for non-emergencies

Remember, the safest place to be this weekend is at home. Stay safe and enjoy the snow! ❄️
