“This is what it takes to be Sheriff.” Stated Sheriff Phillips of Jackson County. “Leading by example. Respecting and trusting your coworkers and superiors. Loyalty to not only the cause, but also the team that surrounds you. Commitment, energy, and willingness to go the extra mile. Austin exemplifies all these traits and more.”

Sheriff Phillips began his tenure as Sheriff of Jackson County in 2011. 

Starting his career in Law Enforcement in 1988, Sheriff Phillips served along side Austin Garrett’s father, who deputies called “Cowboy”, a 20-year veteran of the office at the time. 

   Sheriff Phillips went on to state, “His achievements during his career speak for themselves, but knowing him as I do, I know they were earned and not given.” While speaking about Garrett.

Austin Garrett stated:

 “I am humbled to receive Sheriff Chuck Phillips endorsement and support. Sheriff Phillips knew my father for many years and has been a friend and mentor since I first began my law enforcement career at the Chattanooga Police Department. Thank you, Sheriff Phillips.”

The car was commissioned by Chief Deputy Austin Garrett to honor those who responded to the attack on Sept. 11, 2001.

The vehicle features a red, white and blue color scheme with a 9/11 decal on it.

“On September 11, 2001, the American people experienced the most horrific terrorist attack in our Nation’s history. On that day, thousands of first responders responded to the call. We will never forget those who perished and always remember the bravery and resolve of the heroes who charged into the threshold of hell that day without hesitation in service to their city and fellow man. It is my hope this vehicle will be a constant reminder in our county of 9/11 and as a symbol of our resolve and American spirit,” stated Chief Deputy Austin Garrett.

The city 9/11 ceremony will be Saturday at 10 AM at Ross’s Landing.

“It is important for us to remember the sacrifices made by first responders and citizens as the events of 9/11 unfolded and the aftermath that followed. The courage and sacrifice shown by these individuals should never be forgotten,” stated Sheriff Jim Hammond.
