[QUOTE="scn, post: 4067549, member: 1859"] The retirement date issue is not as clearcut as you might think. State law requires commissioned officers to be retired at the end of the month after their 60th birthday. I don't know if that is why Randy is retiring, or if his is ahead of that date. Anyway, TWRA does not choose the retirement date for anybody. It is either the employee's choice, or is the mandatory deal. And, TWRA does not have the option of hiring months in advance due to state DHR rules. Since this has been a commissioned officer position, it may mean that it has to wait until the next round of new officer hires where the person can go through the internal TWRA enforcement training and then attend the Basic Law Enforcement training at TLETA. Perhaps they will luck out and have a current officer that is through the training that will want the position. But, it likely won't be approved to hire until after Randy is gone. Randy was the only commissioned officer on the area. Without a commissioned presence, it will be up to wildlife officers in surrounding counties to patrol Cheatham as well as their own counties. Since they already have more than they can do on a daily basis out in the county, it makes a lot of sense to me that they will cut down the patrol area a little by closing the secondary roads. Perhaps when they get another commissioned officer out there, they can look at re-opening them. [/QUOTE]
