Capt. Clyde Estridge (center) was honored by family and fellow law enforcement officials from across Panola County last week with a barbeque lunch at the Lions Club building provided by the Sheriff’s Office. Estridge is retiring from full-time duty with more than 31 years of service, and will return to a part-time role in the fall. He began his career at Northwest Community College and worked for 26 at Batesville Police Department before transferring to the Sheriff’s Office in 2020.
