Henry County Sheriff’s investigator Robbie Wade has officially graduated from the 113th Session of the Virginia Forensic Science Academy. After completing an intensive nine-week training program, Wade is now equipped with advanced skills in forensic science, including the proper methods to recognize, collect, and preserve physical evidence from crime scenes. He has also learned how to work with modern forensic labs to analyze evidence and support criminal investigations.
This training is a huge achievement for Wade and will greatly benefit the Henry County Sheriff’s Office, Capt. Sandy Hines said. Wade’s new skills will help improve how we solve cases and serve our community. Investigator Wade is now one of the few law enforcement officers in our region to have completed this specialized forensic training.
Wade’s career with the Henry County Sheriff’s Office began in November 2010, when he started in the Corrections Division. Over the years, he has worked his way up, gaining valuable experience in several key areas of law enforcement. As a Criminal Investigator, he currently handles major investigations, working independently to solve complex cases. He is known for his strong work ethic, attention to detail, and his ability to manage cases efficiently and effectively.
Wade’s completion of the Virginia Forensic Science Academy is “a significant milestone, not only for him but also for the Henry County Sheriff’s Office and the entire community,” Hines said. Wade’s new skills also will help the agency conduct more thorough investigations, improve case outcomes, and increase the agency’s ability to serve and protect the community.
