Winston-Salem, NC — Governor Josh Stein joined Forsyth County Sheriff Bobby Kimbrough this week to co-host a law enforcement roundtable focused on strengthening public safety across North Carolina.
The Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office said the gathering brought together senior law enforcement and public safety leaders to discuss a comprehensive approach to community safety—one that prioritizes prevention, collaboration, and proactive strategies rather than relying solely on reactive enforcement.
Among those attending were Guilford County Sheriff Danny Rogers; Winston-Salem Police Chief William Penn; High Point Police Chief Curtis Cheeks; Kernersville Police Chief Jason Tilley; Greensboro Police Chief John Thompson; WSSU Police Chief Amir Henry; and Kristin Ryan with the Winston-Salem Fire Department.
Participants recognized Governor Stein and North Carolina Department of Public Safety Secretary Eddie Buffaloe for their continued leadership in building partnerships between state and local agencies to create safer, more unified communities.
Sheriff Kimbrough emphasized that ongoing dialogue and cooperation among departments are essential to improving outcomes for residents statewide, stressing that progress depends on working together.
The roundtable concluded with a shared pledge to keep strengthening relationships between law enforcement and the communities they serve throughout North Carolina.
