Troop D Announces Retirement Of Sergeant Charles "Clay" C. Meyer
Captain Juan Villanueva, commanding officer of Troop D, Springfield, announces effective August 1, 2018, Sergeant Charles "Clay" C. Meyer will retire from the Missouri State Highway Patrol after over 28 years of dedicated service.
Meyer was appointed to the Patrol on July 1, 1990, as a member of the 63rd Recruit Class. After graduating from the Patrol’s Law Enforcement Academy, he was assigned to Troop D, Zone 3, Dallas, Hickory, and Polk counties. In July 1992, he transferred to Zone 16, Hickory and St. Clair counties. In January 1995, Meyer transferred back to Zone 3, Polk County. In July 2006, he was promoted to corporal and designated the assistant zone commander of Zone 3, Polk County. In October 2012, he was designated supervisor of Zone 20, marine operations northern district, Troop D. It is from this assignment that Meyer retires.
Sergeant Meyer is a native of Jefferson City, Missouri, and graduated from Jefferson City High School. From 1987 to 1990, he served in the United States Army as a military policeman in Kriegsfeld, Germany. He attended college at Central Missouri State University (now University of Central Missouri) in Warrensburg, Missouri, and later obtained an associate of criminal justice degree from Mineral Area Community College, Park Hills, Missouri. He is married to Renee (Luebbering) and they have two children: Cole and Cristen.
The only 100 percent survivable traffic crash is the one that never happens. Make sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint. Every day as we travel on Missouri’s roadways, we trust that every driver on the road is going to obey the speed limit, pay attention, and drive sober.
“Don’t Violate The Trust.”
