After completing his training, he spent 12 years with the Mount Airy Police Department, serving four years as a Patrol Officer before transitioning to the role of School Resource Officer. In addition to his law enforcement career, Deputy Chamberlain has a strong background in coaching. After spending five years coaching at Mount Airy Middle School, he has been the head football coach at Pilot Mountain Middle School since 2022. He has also been an assistant football coach at East Surry High School for two years and coaches a travel basketball team for second and third-grade boys in Pilot Mountain.

Outside of work, Deputy Chamberlain is devoted to his family. He and his wife, Courtnie, have been married for nine years and are the proud parents of four children: Kaidence, Jaxxon, Boston, and Lennox. In his free time, he enjoys supporting his children’s athletic endeavors, spending time in Florida with family and friends, and enjoying beach trips with his family.
