Glenn county honors two distinguished retiring employees for their service

GLENN COUNTY, Calif. — Two county employees in Glenn county are being honored for their service to the county after more than 28 years of service.

On Tuesday, Jan. 10, the Glenn County Board of Supervisors unanimously adopted resolutions honoring the service of the two retiring employees.

After 28 years of tireless service and dedication to the children and families of Glenn County, Deputy Probation Officer IV Tara Flewelling said goodbye.

Tara was hired on Dec. 1, 1994, and was promoted to Deputy Probation Officer IV.

For more than 20 years, Tara has served as the department’s juvenile placement officer, the most complex assignment within any Probation Department in California.

The Board also recognized Sheriff Richard Warren on his retirement as Sheriff and recognized his 35 years of exemplary service and dedication to the County of Glenn and its citizens.

Sheriff Warren was hired as a jailer and dispatcher at the Glenn County Sheriff’s Office in 1988. He was hired by the Willows Police Department in 1990.

In 1998 he returned to the Glenn County Sheriff’s Office and in 2011, was promoted to Undersheriff. Upon the retirement of Sheriff Jones, Richard was elected Glenn County Sheriff, where he served for two terms. Sheriff Warren will be retiring after nearly 35 years of service.

He credits his success to the support and sacrifice of his wife, Kerri.
