 Profile
Jeffrey Todd Chumley is a native Tipton Countian. He is known by most people as ‘Pancho’ (pronounced pón·chö), a nickname his father coined for him at an early age. He attended Holmes Elementary School and graduated from Trinity Christian Academy.
He and his wife, Lisa, have been married for 14 years. They have one son, Tucker, who is six years old and attends Crestview Elementary School. They attend the Covington First Presbyterian Church. Pancho is the son of Robert and Marie Chumley of Covington.
‘Pancho’ began working for the Tipton County Sheriff’s Office in May 1987 as a patrol deputy. He worked in the patrol division for over ten years. He was a patrol deputy from May 1987 until he was promoted to a patrol sergeant in April of 1991. He remained a patrol sergeant through September of 1997, which included managing the reserve division. In September of 1997 Pancho was promoted to lieutenant of the patrol division, where in addition to those responsibilities, he supervised departmental training, managed the evidence room, and directed the reserve deputy division. In September 2000, Pancho was promoted to captain where he assumed command of the criminal investigations division, special operations, and SWAT team, as well as the previous duties. In September of 2002, he was promoted to his current position of Deputy Chief, where he continues to manage all of the aforementioned divisions, excluding the evidence room.
During his career, he has had the opportunity to serve Tipton County and the law enforcement community in many different fashions. Besides his regular duties during his tenure in the patrol division, he has also served as the D.A.R.E. instructor for five years in the Tipton County school system. Throughout this time, he had the opportunity to educate students about drugs and their adverse impact on individuals as well as society in general. This experience allowed him to understand the challenges our youth and their families are facing. He also worked as a team member of the 25th Judicial District Drug Task Force for five years where he participated in narcotic investigations and sting operations.
In addition to his duties with the Tipton County Sheriff’s Office, he has served as president for the West Tennessee Chapter for Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.), an organization dedicated to helping the families and friends of law enforcement officers who gave the ultimate sacrifice. He has also served as a team leader for the critical incident stress debriefing (CISD) program and peer support training for the Tennessee Public Safety Network. In addition to helping officers from all across the state that have been involved in traumatic events, Chumley used his training last year in helping counsel law enforcement and emergency personnel after Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast.
