Coopertown, Tennessee
On Monday, September 18, 2023, Coopertown Police Chief Tyler Haley swore in the agency’s newest Officer, Troy Hickman. As the department grows, we are excited to welcome new officers to our staff. Officer Hickman brings a wealth of law enforcement experience, including 16 years with Military Police in the United States Marine Corps and 10 years of experience as a Police Officer in California. Officer Hickman has a bachelor’s degree in Homeland Security and Emergency Management.
Having been raised in Ohio in a rural, agricultural area, Officer Hickman says he was drawn to Coopertown as he feels there are a lot of similarities to his hometown allowing him an opportunity to relate to Coopertown residents. Officer Hickman will be undergoing a comprehensive field training program to acclimate him to the Coopertown Police Department and he will attend the POST transition school to laterally transfer his California POST certification to Tennessee. Please help us welcome Officer Hickman to our town. If you see him out and about, don’t hesitate to say hello.
