Even as a young kid living with his family in Oklahoma, Forsyth County Deputy Sam Roberts knew that he wanted to be a law enforcement officer, just like his dad. “Ever since I was a kid, I would ride out with him,” Roberts said. “I was probably 13 and I would start riding out on Friday nights, hanging out with the cops and I just learned to like it. Seeing the good days and the bad days, and just fell in love with what they do.”
