Shunna Norton
Shunna Norton is a police officer with the Clemson Police Department. She has been with the department for eight years.
After being a dispatcher for another agency and spending two years as an unpaid reserve officer, she applied for the position at Clemson and was hired by Chief Jimmy Dixon.
Norton spent nine weeks at the Academy in Columbia, is then sent back periodically for ongoing classes and gets recertified every three years. What she enjoys most, she says, is the interaction with the public and the different stories every day. “It’s never the same,” she says.
In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with daughters, Kelley and Hannah, doing outdoor activities. She also enjoys assisting her husband, Jon, who is a deputy with the Pickens County Sheriff’s Department, with his Explorer Post for young men and women ages 14-21.
