Sergeant Andy Clark Retires after 34 Years

Sergeant Andy Clark retires after serving 34 dedicated years of service to the Indiana State Police and to the communities in which he served.

Clark is a native of Alton, IL, and a 1974 graduate of Alton High School. He joined the United States Marine Corps and served as a military policeman from 1974 to 1980.

Clark graduated from the Indiana State Police Academy in July 1980 and was assigned to the Evansville District where he patrolled Gibson County until he was promoted to the rank of corporal in October 1984. Clark also became a crash reconstructionist in 1988 and qualified as an expert in court over 30 times during his career. In 1989, Clark was promoted to the rank of sergeant to serve as a pilot and flew over 10,000 hours conducting traffic patrols, searching for missing or wanted persons, taking aerial photos of crime scenes and searching for cultivated marijuana.

“Sergeant Clark was an asset to this department and his experience, work ethic and dedication will be greatly missed,” said Lieutenant Brian Bailey, Commander of the Evansville District.

Clark and his wife, Becky, have been married for over 32 years and reside in Gibson County. They have two children and one grandson.
