Effective December 31st, 2018, LCSO Chief Deputy Jeff Springer retired after serving the citizens of Paris and Lamar County for nearly four decades in law enforcement.
“Jeff served as a Police Officer for the city of Paris for nearly 33 years with the majority of his years of service in the Criminal Investigation and Narcotics Divisions,” said Sheriff Scott Cass.
Springer started at the Lamar County Sheriff’s Office as Chief Deputy under Sheriff Scott Cass in 2013 and has served in this position until his retirement.
Springer’s colleagues at LCSO describe him as a caring man who would help anyone with whatever they needed.
“Our CID Detectives have the utmost respect for the wealth of knowledge in Criminal investigations that Jeff shared with them on a daily basis,” said Cass.
Chief Deputy Springer has served a total of 38 years and 10 months in a law enforcement capacity and is a Master Peace Officer.
Sheriff Cass can’t say enough good things about Springer.
“Jeff and I have worked together for many years. We have worked numerous investigations together and have developed a strong bond and close friendship. When Jeff retired from the Paris Police Department he came alongside as me Chief Deputy and brought a wealth of experience and knowledge to this position. Jeff and I shared the same determination and drive to get the cases solved and those responsible in custody. That shared determination resulted in many late nights and long days. I can’t begin to say enough about his extensive law enforcement service to the citizens of this county and I wish him the best in his new endeavors.”
“What may be some do not know, is the compassion Jeff had for others and the desire to make sure Officers starting out would have the right skills and training to succeed. Jeff certainly leaves a legacy in law enforcement in Lamar County retiring and joining others who have served our citizens proudly and with the utmost dedication to our profession.”
THANK YOU, Jeff Springer, for your service.
