Congratulations to Montgomery Police Officer Paul Payne on his retirement!
Paul spent 35 years in law enforcement, including over 22 years in the City of Montgomery. Paul also worked for Elmwood Place, Loveland Police, Ohio State Park Rangers, and at the Warren County Sheriff’s Office.
During his career in Montgomery, Paul served as Sycamore High School’s first School Resource Officer. He has helped countless students, staff, and parents through difficult times. Paul attended an immeasurable number of athletic games, dances, and graduations and helped create the District Safety Committee. In his own words, “The SRO has been my ministry for 22 years.”
Paul plans to continue training law enforcement and school staff as a nationwide instructor for active shooter incidents. He will also continue to spend time with his family and hunt and fish whenever possible.
