FORSYTH COUNTY, N.C. — Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office Major Mark Elliott signed off for the last time, after 23 years of service.
"I would like to thank all of those who have served before me and all of those that will serve after me...I pray God keeps you safe and continues to bless all of you..." Elliott could be heard saying on the radio.
Elliott signed off with his daughter Lindsay dispatching him on the other end of the radio.
"I'm so thankful that God had his hand on you and kept you safe during your career. Words cannot express how proud I am to be your daughter. Now go and enjoy your well-deserved retirement. I love you, dad," Lindsay radioed back.
Elliott served with the sheriff’s office since February 1999.
He plans to spend time with his family and enjoy some golf now that he’s retired.
