MORRIS COUNTY — After more than two decades of dedicated public service, Detective Lieutenant Tracy Medwin has retired from the Morris County Sheriff’s Office, concluding a career marked by leadership, professionalism, and wide-ranging contributions to the agency and the residents of Morris County.
Detective Lieutenant Medwin was hired by the Morris County Sheriff’s Office in December 2000 and graduated from the Morris County Police Academy in May 2001. She began her career in the Protective Services Division before transferring in September 2004 to the Administration Division, Research and Planning Section, where she played a key role in organizational planning and policy development.
In June 2006, Medwin continued her service in the Administration Division and was promoted to the rank of Corporal in April 2014, remaining in Research and Planning. Her leadership trajectory continued just months later when, in September 2014, she was promoted to Sergeant and reassigned to the Protective Services Division, where she was stationed at the Control Desk and supervised multiple operational sections.
Following years of frontline and supervisory experience, Medwin transferred in February 2019 to the Process Section of the Legal Services Division, further expanding her institutional expertise. Her career culminated in November 2022, when she was promoted to Detective Lieutenant, assuming responsibility for supervising the Community Outreach and Planning Section of the Sheriff’s Office.
Throughout her career, Detective Lieutenant Medwin made significant contributions to advancing professionalism within the department. She managed multiple successful reaccreditation efforts under executive programs of the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA), helping ensure the agency met the highest national standards for law enforcement operations and accountability.
Colleagues credit Medwin with a broad knowledge base, adaptability across assignments, and a commitment to excellence that strengthened the Sheriff’s Office at every level. Her service to the people of Morris County, officials noted, is rarely paralleled.
Reflecting on her career, Detective Lieutenant Medwin said, “My career has been a wild ride to say the least, and I am extremely grateful to raise anchor and set sail for my new adventure.”
Her retirement marks the close of a distinguished chapter for the Morris County Sheriff’s Office and the community she faithfully served for more than 24 years.
