Following the 11th year of the passing of Sheriff Marvin M. Farrior, Sr., Sheriff Jerry "Juice" Mosley has been in the process of redesigning and "revamping" the Law Enforcement Complex sign at the end of the driveway.

The previous sign was designed in recognition of Sheriff Farrior's 32 years of dedication and service to Wayne County as our Sheriff.
In 2000, The Wayne County Board of Supervisors dedicated the new building you know of today as Sheriff Marvin M. Farrior Sr. Law Enforcement Complex following his retirement in 2000.

Marvin M. Farrior, Sr. was born July 2, 1931 and passed from this life on September 4, 2015. At that time he was 84 years old. Today, his legacy lives on for many years to come.

Statement from Sheriff Mosley: "He was a great man and great Sheriff. He made a difference for Wayne County over his 32 years as Sheriff and 84 years of his life. I was in such disarray over how terrible the sign has become and I decided when I first took over that I was going to fix this memorial of him. This design took a while to create as I was trying to give him the recognition he deserves so this decision was not made lightly. He was Sheriff during my 19 years as a patrolman at the Waynesboro Police Department until he retired and I was lucky enough to learn a lot from him and I can honestly say those were the best years during my Law Enforcement career."

💙 Thank You, Wayne County! 💙
Edit to add: We were able to fill upwards of 275 backpacks for children of Wayne County Schools!!

The Wayne County Sheriff’s Office would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who supported our Stuff-A-Backpack initiative!

Because of the generosity of our community, local students will begin the school year with the school supplies they need to be prepared, confident, and ready to learn. Your kindness is making a real difference in the lives of children who may not otherwise have access to these essential items🖍️📚🎒!!!!!!!

We would especially like to thank our local businesses, churches, organizations, volunteers, and community members who partnered with us by donating supplies, contributing financially, and working alongside us to help provide for the children of Wayne County. We would like to extend our heartfelt thank you to Waynesboro Walmart for allowing us to set up in front of their store to collect donations for this great cause!! Your willingness to give back demonstrates what makes our community so special☺️🫶!

I, Sheriff Mosley, would like to add that we are very proud to be participating in the MDOC Trusty Program, which provides eligible, non-violent inmate trusties with meaningful work opportunities and life skills that support a successful transition back into society. This program's main goal is to encourage responsibility and a strong work ethic. It also prepares those trusties for a brighter future after release while also allowing them to give back to Wayne County children and our community. The two days we were at our Waynesboro Walmart, our trusties have helped us tremendously with loading/unloading/sorting etc. of our supply donations.

This initiative would not have been possible without your support, and we are truly grateful for each and every person who helped make it a success. Together, we are investing in the future of our children and strengthening our community one backpack at a time.

🤍Thank you, Wayne County, for showing what it means to come together for our children.

****As additional donations and photos from our amazing local businesses come in, we will continue updating this post to recognize everyone who helped make this event a success. Thank you again for your generosity and support! Although some will not be posted because they wanted to anonymously donate, their donations are greatly appreciated!!
