MORRISTOWN, Tenn. — The Tennessee Wildlife Resources has promoted Wildlife Officer Shelley Hammonds to the rank of Law Enforcement Major for Region 4 in East Tennessee.
Hammonds will manage and coordinate all law enforcement activities within the region covering 21 counties in East Tennessee, from Loudon to Johnson County.
