CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – Lt. Stephen Warren is saying goodbye to law enforcement after 35 years of law service. He spent 21 of those years with the Clarksville Police Department (CPD).
Lt. Warren’s many years of service took him to several departments and positions. He started out his law enforcement career working for UT Martin before changing jobs to take on a one-man deep position as Chief of Police in Big Sandy, TN.
He then moved on to be an Investigator with Benton County Sheriff’s Office, then worked as an Investigator with Austin Peay State University, and for the last 21 years has been an officer with the Clarksville Police Department.
He was hired with CPD August 1, 1997, and became a member of the Fatal Accident Crash Team Sept. 1, 1998. He was promoted to Sergeant on May 1, 2002 and attained his current rank of Lieutenant on February 16, 2008. His final job assignment was head of Homeland Security for the CPD.
The room at police Headquarters was filled with well-wishers Thursday as Lt. Warren started a new chapter in his life. For many retirement is a somber occasion, but Lt. Warren was his normal jovial, cracking-jokes self.
Lt. Warren’s wit and humor, as well as his professionalism, will be missed by many. His official retirement date is September 14, 2018.
