Congressman Shreve Invites Wayne County Sheriff To Presidential Address

With over 35 years of dedicated service in law enforcement, Sheriff Randy Retter has invested the past six years leading the Wayne County Sheriff's Department. Before serving as Sheriff, he held positions of ever increasing responsibilities, from Patrol Deputy, to Patrol Sergeant, Detective Sergeant — and later as a Lieutenant, Enforcement Division Commander, and SWAT Team Leader. He served as the President of the Indiana Sheriff's Association and currently serves on the Board of Directors for the National Sheriff's Association. Sheriff Retter recently met with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to ensure criminal illegal migrants are kept off our streets.

Congressman Shreve said, "I'm honored to have a prominent member of Indiana’s law enforcement join me at the President’s address to a Joint Session of Congress. Sheriff Retter has been a leader in supporting our immigration laws and ensuring the safety of Wayne County and East Central Indiana. Through his cooperation with ICE, he’s moved drug traffickers off our streets, Sheriff Retter is committed to keeping our communities safe. I'm grateful for his service and dedication to public safety."

Sheriff Retter said, “I am grateful to Congressman Shreve for the honor of attending the President’s Joint Address as his guest. This opportunity allows me to witness this important event firsthand, and to share some of the issues affecting law enforcement today. I appreciate Congressman Shreve’s commitment to supporting the men and women who serve and protect our communities."
