SHERIFF DARON HALL ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT FROM PUBLIC SERVICE NASHVILLE, Tenn. – After serving as sheriff of Davidson County for 24 years, and more than 35 years of service at the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office (DCSO), Sheriff Daron Hall announced his retirement from public service Wednesday. He has a rare opportunity in the private sector which requires his departure from office by November 1. Hall’s last day with the DCSO is scheduled for October 19. “Over the years, there have been other opportunities, but the timing and circumstances were never right,” Hall said. “While leaving after 35 years of service is not an easy decision, I believe the sheriff’s office is well-positioned for the future with strong, capable, and experienced leadership. I am committed to doing everything I can to ensure a smooth transition, both before and after my departure.” Hall was elected to his seventh term as Davidson County sheriff earlier this year. He is both the youngest person ever elected to the office and the longest serving in Nashville history. Hall made arresting the problem, not the person, a focus. He designed and implemented the first-of-its-kind Behavioral Care Center, a nationally-recognized diversion program aimed at decriminalizing mental illness. In recent months, he secured funding for the DCSO’s southeast campus to help alleviate overcrowding, successfully challenged the State of Tennessee in court over the prolonged detention of their inmates in local jails, increased the salary for the Davidson County sheriff position, and closed a loophole in the public safety pension system. “I have come to realize there will always be new challenges to address, and there may never be a perfect time to step away. But I am 62 years old and have spent over half my life at the DCSO,” Hall said. “The time has come for me to seize a new opportunity and begin the next chapter of my life. Serving the people of Nashville and working alongside the DCSO staff has been the greatest privilege of my career, and I will always be grateful for those who placed their trust in me over the years.” The Metropolitan Council will appoint an interim sheriff next month and the position of sheriff will be placed on the ballot next year.

Yesterday, I was sworn-in for a seventh term by Judge Steve Dozier. I want to thank my family for their support, @NashSheriff staff for trusting me to lead them for the past 24 years, and voters of Nashville for having the confidence I continue to be the right person for this job. I feel blessed beyond measure.

I am pleased with the court’s decision today regarding the crisis of state inmates overcrowding our local jails. This is an important step towards our correctional system, once again, being a national model. Work is underway to ensure Nashville has facilities that are safe and secure for both Davidson County Sheriff’s Office staff and inmates.

Congratulations and happy #Retirement to Barbara Jackson! Thank you for nearly 27 years of dedicated service to @@[undefined]. We appreciate your commitment and wish you all the best as you begin your new chapter!
