Retirement Announcement for Master Officer Dustin Smith

Home Posted on September 11, 2024

Master Officer Dustin Smith is retiring September 13th, 2024, after serving the residents of Duncan for the last sixteen years. Smith, a Duncan Public Schools graduate, began his law enforcement career at the Marlow Police Department in June 2004 after graduating from CLEET. He came to work as a patrol officer in 2008 for Duncan Police Department. In 2011 he became a Lake Patrol Officer and served for two years before his promotion to Investigator in 2013. As an Investigator, Smith graduated from the 61st Criminal Investigations Academy. His focus on crimes against children led to him spearheading the development of the Stephens and Jefferson County Multi-Disciplinary Team. This team, in cooperation with the SAFE Center, funded and built a forensic interview room so victims would not have to travel long distances for access to this service. In 2022, Smith became the first Duncan Police Department investigator to hold a certification as a Cellebrite Certified Operator and Cellebrite Certified Physical Analyst. Smith’s passion for helping children transitioned him to becoming a School Resource Officer in 2022, where he assisted administration and staff with behavioral concerns, mental health crisis intervention and all areas of physical security. Smith’s commitment to children also led him to serve from 2015 to 2023 as a board member of the SAFE Center, which is now a multi-faceted crisis center. His efforts throughout his law enforcement career have been recognized with a Commendation Award from Marlow Police Department, a Meritorious Service Medal and Life Saving Award from the Duncan Police Department, an Outstanding Victim Services Award from the Stephens County District Attorney’s Office and an Excellence in Action Against Domestic Violence Award from the Oklahoma District Attorney’s Office. Although this cannot encompass everything Master Officer Smith has achieved here in Duncan, we truly value the time and commitment he has given to City of Duncan, Duncan Police Department, and his community. His dedication to victims and his knowledge of the many facets of law enforcement, as well as his commitment to his fellow officers will be missed and we, as a community, are the better for his service.
