Dickson Mayor Don L. Weiss Jr. recently swore in two new officers of the Dickson Police Department.
Mayor Weiss administered the Peace Officer’s Oath to Officers Ethan Fountain and Joseph Wooten at the Dickson City Council meeting Jan. 6, 2025.
Ethan Fountain
A native of Warner Robins, Ga., Officer Fountain’s family moved to Eureka, Ill., and he graduated from HomeLife Academy. He obtained a degree in Computer Information Technology from the Tennessee College of Applied Technology.
“It’s always been a dream of mine to contribute to the public and provide safety through my work,” Fountain said. “The Dickson Police Department does a great job of making me feel like family and trains me so I can be the best officer I can be for this city.”
After completing the department’s Field Training program, Fountain will attend the Tennessee Law Enforcement Training Academy later this year.
Joseph Wooten
Raised in Dickson and a 2016 graduate of Dickson County High School, Officer Wooten has been a licensed Emergency Medical Technician for seven years.
He earned his Law Enforcement Training certificate in 2021 at Cleveland State Community College and began his law enforcement career with the Humphreys County Sheriff’s Office, where he was a patrol deputy for three years.
Officer Wooten will complete the department’s Field Training program while assigned to the Patrol Division’s A-Night Shift.
