After more than four decades of service, Indiana State Police Sergeant Todd Ringle is retiring, marking the end of a long career dedicated to public safety and community outreach.

Ringle, a native of Fowler and graduate of Benton Central High School, began his career with the Indiana State Police in July 1984 as a telecommunications operator at the Evansville Post. Less than a year later, he advanced his career by joining the 43rd Recruit Academy, graduating in November 1985 and becoming a state trooper.

Following his graduation, Ringle was assigned to the Evansville District, where he initially patrolled Pike County before spending more than 14 years serving Warrick County. In 2000, he was promoted to sergeant and took on the role of Public Information Officer, a position he held for over 25 years while serving as a key connection between law enforcement and the public.

Throughout his career, Ringle played an important role in sharing information and highlighting the work of troopers across southwest Indiana. His efforts helped keep communities informed while strengthening relationships between law enforcement and the public.

Ringle retires after 42 years with the department and plans to spend more time traveling, golfing, and being with his family. He resides in Warrick County with his wife.
