Reflections for Deputy Sheriff William Haywood Webb

I was sworn in with the Edgecombe County Sheriffs Office on August 3, 2017. It is my first job in law enforcement. I do come from a line of law enforcement officers though. I wanted to stop by and express my gratitude to you. I’m not from Edgecombe County but rather Raleigh, NC. I pass by your picture in our hallways every day at the office. I am also assigned to your area. I travel through Speed everyday I work. Speed probably hasn’t changed much since you were killed within its limits but I enforce the laws in the tiny little town just as you did. You would love to see the Edgecombe County Sheriffs Office today. Our new Sheriff is a retired State Trooper who worked Edgecombe County for 20+ years and is a fine man. We have a lot of great equipment and a lot of great deputies. To my knowledge, there were only 6 lawmen in the Sheriffs Office in your day and that includes the Sheriff. Now we are 100+ strong with sworn Deputy’s. We have around 30 Deputy’s assigned to the Patrol Division and 12 assigned to Investigations. You’ll never be forgotten.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 45th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service to my home state and the birthplace of my son. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Rest In Peace

I am Haywood Webb's only granddaughter and I so wish I could have met my grandfather. From the stories my mom has told me, and the pictures I have seen (even though she was only 9 when he died) I know he was a wonderful man and he was loved by everyone that knew him. Thank you Granddaddy Haywood for laying your life on the line to protect others. You have greatly been missed! I love you!

I didnt know Mr. Webb personally but my Grandfather W.H. Ward was his friend. I hope that his surviving family and friends will always remember him, as he kept my family safe form harms way. You will always be remembered!

I was 14 when your life ended. My Father, a Deputy, worked with you that night but you took my Father's call because you were closer. Fate stepped in and I was allowed to keep my Father while your Daughter lost hers. Thank You for my Dad. God Bless you and your family.
