Sheriff’s Office names Sgt. as Employee of Quarter

Sgt. Jason Nipper has been selected as the Headquarters Bureau Employee of the second Quarter, according to Lt. Col. D.T. Smith with the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office.

On April 1, while working as an off-duty traffic detail at Lambert High School in South Forsyth County, Sgt. Nipper responded to a call from dispatch that help was needed at the school.

Upon his arrival on the scene, he found the assistant principal was unresponsive and had no pulse. Sgt. Nipper and a school nurse administered CPR and used the automated external defibrillator (AED) until EMS and fire personnel arrived.                

Sgt. Nipper continued to assist emergency crews until the 60-year-old woman had a pulse and was breathing on her own. 

“Sgt. Nipper was instrumental in saving the life of the assistant principal,” said Lt. Col. Smith in a news release.

Sgt Nipper has been with the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office since April 2000.
