About Dad Time: Sheriff Bobby Kimbrough on grief, law enforcement and raising 7 sons

Forsyth County Government
Bobby Kimbrough being sworn in as sheriff of Forsyth County in 2018, with five of his seven sons, looking on.

Bobby Kimbrough, Jr. has been the sheriff of Forsyth County since 2018. He reached that career height while also raising seven sons on his own. He became a single parent in 2005, when his childhood sweetheart, Clem, died unexpectedly when their youngest son was still an infant, and it led to a series of financial and emotional setbacks it took years to overcome.

On this special, one-hour installment of Due South's series, "About Dad Time," co-host Jeff Tiberii sits down with Sheriff Kimbrough for a deeply personal conversation about what life has been like as a career-long law enforcement professional and a single parent to seven sons.
