WARREN C. EVANS Governor Appointee

Warren C. Evans, Wayne County Sheriff and one of the state’s leading criminal justice professionals, was appointed as one of two Governor appointees on the Huron-Clinton Metropolitan Authority Board of Commissioners for a term expiring May 2, 2011.

Evans has held a broad range of positions in the field over the past 35 years, including his first 20 years within the Sheriff’s Office.

In 1978, the Wayne County Sheriff’s Mounted Patrol was established under Evan’s command as Lieutenant.
