An Indiana State Trooper who served as a primary source of information for southwestern Indiana media for more than 25 years has retired after 42 years with the Indiana State Police.
Wednesday marked Sergeant Todd Ringle’s final day on the job.
Ringle, a native of Fowler and a graduate of Benton Central High School, began his career in July 1984 as a dispatcher at the Evansville Post. He later joined the 43rd recruit academy in 1985 and graduated that November.
After graduation, he was assigned to the Evansville Post, where he first patrolled Pike County before spending more than 14 years in Warrick County.
In 2000, Ringle was promoted to sergeant and became the Public Information Officer for the Evansville District. He served in that role for more than 25 years, working closely with media across the region.
Ringle recorded a final sign-off message on the State Police social media page Wednesday.
“I want to take a second to thank everyone at the Regional Three Dispatch Center for keeping a watchful eye over me… I would also like to thank my state police family, especially those in the Evansville District, for being part of my extended family for over 40 years. I can assure you, all of you will be very much missed… 35-10 is 10-42 for the final time. God bless you all,” Ringle said.
Ringle said he plans to spend more time golfing, traveling, and being with his family.
