At the most recent Newberry County Council meeting, Mr. Odell Schumpert was recognized upon his retirement after 31 years of service with the Newberry County Sheriff’s Office.
Mr. Schumpert joined the Sheriff’s Office right after college and rose through the ranks to become senior lieutenant. He was also a founding member and leader of the agency’s Critical Incident Response Team. According to Sheriff Lee Foster, Mr. Schumpert was counted on to train new officers with his “kind, jovial ways.”
“Odell is a man of integrity. He is also a man of character that has sacrificed greatly to make sure his family is attended,” Sheriff Foster said.
Thank you, Mr. Schumpert, for your 31 years of service to Newberry County. We wish you a happy retirement!
