Sheriff William T. Schatzman in Patrol Car

William T. “Bill” Schatzman exemplifies the spirit of “law enforcement”, not just because of his 24 year career with the FBI, but from what he learned from his family. Bill’s father was a 30-year veteran of law enforcement and retired as a Major in the Connecticut State Police. The spirit of civil service to the community through law enforcement was instilled in Bill from the very beginning and it has stayed with him.

Bill began his career in law enforcement in 1970 when FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover hired him as Special Agent and assigned him to Washington, D.C. For 16 years prior to his retirement, he worked in the Greensboro/Winston-Salem FBI Office.

During his service with the Bureau, Bill was assigned to investigate violations of federal law. As a senior agent and manager, he field-trained and supervised other Special Agents in all aspects of FBI work. He was North Carolina’s FBI Police Training Coordinator directing the training provided by the FBI to local law enforcement. That training included the FBI National Academy, the FBI Police Executive Institute and other specialized police training from SWAT to supervision.

Bill received numerous personal awards and commendations from Director Hoover and the other Directors for whom he worked. Bill received recognition for solving bank robberies, supervising drug undercover operations directed at organized crime, breaking white collar crime fraud cases and organizing and directing task force cases using local law enforcement.

Bill retired in 1994 and started Schatzman & Associates, LLC, a security consulting and investigation support service. Schatzman & Associates is a group of 400 former FBI Agents located around the world who provide services to corporate clients on loss prevention and risk management issues. They also provide investigative support to law firms in civil and criminal litigation.

Bill is very active in the Winston-Salem community. He worked with the Senior PGA Tour at the Vantage Championship as Director of Contestant and Guest Services. He is a past chairman of the local chapter of the American Society of Industrial Security and past chairman of the North Carolina Chapter of the Society of Former Special Agents of the FBI. He is a member of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners and he is a North Carolina Board certified, licensed and insured Private Investigator.

Bill is a graduate of Quinnipac University, located in Connecticut, where he received a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration. He served 3 years in the United States Marine Corps.

Bill is married to Jane Micol, a native of Valdese, North Carolina. Bill and Jane have four children: Susan, William, Brandy, and Jami. He is a resident of Forsyth County, where he has lived for more than 24 years.
