Stafford County Sheriff’s Office

National Night Out on Tuesday, Oct. 6, 2026, was a success, the Stafford County Sheriff’s Office said.

The office said Wednesday night was about the police-community partnership. It thanked exhibitors, community partners, and volunteers, and the neighbors who showed up.

Stafford County’s Sheriff’s Office sent four emergency-communications employees to a Las Vegas 911 conference this spring under a package Stafford bought with public funds — airfare, hotel and registration billed by the software vendor — then cut each of them a $233 county check for meals. Attendance, the office, and the vendor all say it is not required. The county’s quote still prices four of those packages every year for five years.

The Sheriff’s Office operates Stafford’s 911 center and contracts with Priority Dispatch Corp. — legally Medical Priority Consultants, Inc. — for the software used to triage emergency calls. A March 19, 2025, quote obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, Q-79047, is tied to existing Contract No. 21-034-3120SSB and folds four annual “Navigator All-Inclusive” packages into a five-year Emergency Police Dispatch implementation and maintenance deal.

The Stafford County Sheriff’s Office confirmed Friday that Justin Forman is no longer employed by the agency and directed all further questions to the FBI after he was arrested on a federal child pornography charge.

Jackson Arnold, public information officer for the Sheriff’s Office, said Forman’s employment was terminated due to personal conduct that violated agency policies. He specified the termination was not related to professional or on-duty conduct.
