Sheriff and Chief Celebrate 35 Years at NCSO

By Kris Smith
Thirty-five years ago, when times were simpler – this duo solidified their dedication to service and community when they joined the Navarro County Sheriff’s Office.


In March of 1989, Sheriff Elmer Tanner and Chief Deputy Morris Stewart entered the doors of the Navarro County Justice Center as detention officers, working their way through the Navarro College Police Academy. After obtaining what is now known as TCOLE licensing through the State of Texas, they moved on through the various departments at NCSO – from patrol to Criminal Investigation Division and SWAT.
For more than 3 decades, their dedication to Navarro County has never faltered.

Neither of these ‘Hometown Heroes’ have ever left NCSO, staying true to their loyalty and dedication to the citizens of Navarro County.

Thank you for keeping us safe!
