Lieutenant Dennis Marshall Retires after 34 Years of Service

Lieutenant Dennis Marshall retires from the Indiana State Police after serving 34 dedicated years of service to the Indiana State Police and to the communities in which he served.

Marshall is a native of Perrysville, IN and a 1974 graduate of North Vermillion High School. He later attended Danville Junior College in Illinois and Central Missouri State in Warrensburg, MO, where he received a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice. Marshall joined the Indiana State Police in April 1979 and was assigned to the Evansville District where he primarily patrolled Posey County. He was promoted to the rank of Corporal in 1991. Marshall continued to rise through the ranks and was promoted to Sergeant in August 1994 to supervise troopers patrolling Pike and Knox Counties. In August 2000, Marshall was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant to serve as the Evansville District Commander.

“Dennis Marshall is the quintessential Indiana State Trooper. His demeanor, appearance, attitude and compassion in the way he did his job is a model for the rest of us. He was an energetic and admired trooper when he worked Posey County. When he became a supervisor and eventually the district commander, he never forgot what it was like to be a trooper. He will always have my deepest respect and admiration,” said Captain Danny Price, Area III Commander.

Dennis and his wife, Susan Bobette, have been married 29 years and reside in Mt. Vernon. They have one daughter, Ashley, and six grandchildren.
