EPD Statement on the Passing of Sheriff Miller
The Elkins Police Department and The City of Elkins would like to express their sincere condolences to the Miller Family and the Upshur County Sheriff’s Office on the passing of Sheriff Virgil Miller. Sheriff Miller was a pillar of law enforcement leadership and commitment to the people that he served, whom many of us have looked up to. Moreover, he was a wonderful man and friend who was always there to help when called upon.
Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure and privilege to work closely with Sheriff Miller on several occasions. What will always stand out to me was his love for and dedication to his fellow officers, his commitment to his community, and the humble and professional manner in which he conducted himself.
We will miss you Virgil, and all the knowledge, advice, humor, and brotherhood you were so quick to share. Rest easy brother, we’ve got it from here.
