Forsyth County Deputy Brandon Wiley is August Deputy of the Month

The  Precinct of the names Deputy First Class Brandon Wiley as “Deputy of the Month” for August 2011.

According to Capt. Ron Freeman, South Precinct Commander, DFC Wiley was chosen for a variety of incidents and traffic stops he was involved in over the summer.

“Deputy Wiley made several traffic stops that resulted in the arrest of six people--four for outstanding warrants and two for driving without a license,” said Capt. Freeman. “These traffic stops resulted from Deputy Wiley patrolling the subdivisions and business areas, as well as the parks near the lake that are in his beat.”

On Aug. 28, Deputy Wiley assisted in finding two 14-year-old boys who went missing at for several hours. Deputy Wiley took it upon himself to go to the highest point of the marina and when he was in place, he took his patrol car's PA system and started calling out the names of the boys. He did so until the teens appeared, despite learning through witness statements that the boys were not in the area.

Also in Aug., Deputy Wiley prevented a suspected burglary from taking place in a mobile home park on Buford Highway near Samples Road.

While on patrol of this area, he noticed a suspicious SUV parked in an unpopulated business complex with the rear hatch opened. During his investigation, he noticed two men, one had a cinder block in his hand, casing the trailer park behind the business complex.

According to the FCSO, Wiley was able to speak with the men in Spanish, who were not successful in hiding their reason for being in the area.

In the third incident, Wiley was instrumental in helping to identify several people suspected of stealing metal from an industrial area.

The fourth incident prompted Sheriff Ted Paxton to send Wiley a letter commending him for his professionalism and thoroughness during an accident that occurred in Forsyth county involving a person from out-of-state.

“Deputy Wiley is extremely proactive in performing his duties. We are proud to have him as a part of the South Precinct,” Capt. Freeman said.

DFC Wiley has been with the FCSO since March 2005.
