Thank you to the kind deputy who assisted me and gave me a ride to work this morning during the snowstorm.

Poor communication and no training. God please send us more qualified and unbiased to protect our community.

Best police department in Southwest Virginia I’ve had experience with. If you need anything at all they don’t hesitate to assist. If you find that you’re not receiving the help you need from one officer don’t hesitate to ask for someone else. The superiors, Captain Holland, and Sheriff Overton uphold the highest levels of integrity, honesty, respect, and transparency to the FC citizens. Made my move here wonderful and would recommend anyone who lives in the Noke to visit or take a move to FC so they can feel the safety that the sheriffs department provides.

We were sitting on our porch the other night and a speeding car came through a private driveway slammed into our vehicle... the driver took off running, leaving a child and mother behind .the police were right behind him. they took care of the situation- they were efficient, polite,and Extremely caring of that baby . Insanely professional. I have to say I have a new respect for our police officers ,our state troopers(thank you Trooper Utt) and our canines..(one with the state troopers unit and one with the Franklin county sheriff's department) Thank God they were there. Officer Dillion thank you for your observant training that started the apprehension of this individual. And thank you Rocky Mount rescue squad and DSS. Even at 3:00 in the morning you all are on your toes and extremely helpful to all involved..
