The Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office recognized two of its finest Thursday night during the 2012 deputy of the year ceremony.Deputy Troy Embrey received the honor for the agency’s north precinct and Deputy Ted Baxter for the south precinct.Maj. Paul Taylor said the precinct honorees each worked with about 40 or 50 peers last year “who are all out there doing a good job.”“To be held up as deputies of the year is really quite an accomplishment,” Taylor said.Each precinct in the uniform patrol division selects a deputy to recognize each month, and the annual winners are chosen from those awards.Embrey was named deputy of the month in February, March and September in 2012.His investigative work led to the arrest of burglary suspects in February. Then in March, Embrey responded quickly to a call for help and found a missing Alzheimer’s patient. His work on a wreck scene in September helped a motorcyclist recover from serious injuries.Capt. Mark Hoffman, uniform patrol section commander, said Embrey responds quickly and works with “tenacity.”“One of the things that good police officers have is a sense of skepticism,” Hoffman said, “and it’s well developed in Troy.
