The Northeast Texas Community College Police Department recently welcomed its newest officer, Marco Garrett, during a swearing-in ceremony held on campus.
Garrett, a Mount Pleasant native and graduate of the NTCC Police Academy, officially joined the department after taking the oath of office administered by NTCC Police Chief Russell Radke. NTCC President Dr. Kevin Rose was present for the ceremony to sign his commission certificate, while Dr. Jon McCullough, Executive Vice President for Advancement, pinned on his badge.
Garrett brings nearly two decades of law enforcement and public safety experience to NTCC. His career has included service with the Winnsboro Police Department, Harrison County Fire Marshal's Office, City of Longview, City of Marshall, and Smith County Adult Probation, where he most recently served as a fugitive investigator. He holds a Master Peace Officer certification and is fluent in Spanish.
"We are excited to welcome Officer Garrett to the NTCC Police Department," said Radke. "His extensive law enforcement experience, commitment to public service, and connection to our community make him a great addition to our team."
The NTCC Police Department is responsible for maintaining a safe and secure learning environment for students, employees, and visitors across the college's campuses and facilities. To learn more about the department, visit www.ntcc.edu/policedepartment.
