Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security Commissioner Jeff Long and Tennessee Highway Patrol Colonel Matt Perry welcomed the newest graduating classes of Tennessee State Troopers. Cannon County Sheriff Darrell Young congratulates Deputy Cheyenne Byford on her graduation from the Tennessee Law Enforcement Training Academy at the same ceremony. The department simultaneously instructed a regular 17-week trooper cadet class and an 11-week lateral trooper cadet class.
“It was our honor to celebrate the hard work and perseverance of these two cadet classes today,” said Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security Commissioner Jeff Long. “These graduates have earned the privilege to serve the people of Tennessee in one of the most well-respected law enforcement agencies in the nation. I commend each of them for their willingness to protect and serve our great state.”
Deputy Byford has been working for the Cannon County Sheriff’s Department in corrections for about 5 years. The department reports they are proud to now have her on the road as a Deputy after a long 12 weeks of training.
