We would like to take a moment to wish one of our good friends and long time dispatcher a happy, well deserved retirement. Tic your voice and calm behind the radio will always be missed and you’ll always hold a special place here in Carter County!! Congratulations Johnny Miller!
FOR TONE!!!

🎉🚨 Retirement Alert! 🚨🎉
After an incredible 30 years in the industry—including nearly 6 years keeping things running smoothly at Unicoi 911—it’s finally time for Johnny “Tic” Miller to hang up the headset, silence the radio (maybe), and trade long shifts for long naps… or at least longer coffee breaks! ☕😄
Tic, your dedication, quick wit, and steady presence have meant more than words can say. Whether it was answering the call—literally—or keeping the team laughing when things got hectic, you’ve left your mark on all of us.
They say experience is the best teacher… and after 30 years, you could probably write the whole textbook (and still add a few footnotes we’re not allowed to read 😆).
Now, we know retirement doesn’t completely mean goodbye—we’ll still see you pop in for the occasional part-time shift. Just remember… when you do, you’ve got to leave those famous cold chills at home! 🥶😂
While we’re excited for you to enjoy this next chapter—sleeping in, doing whatever you want, and not answering any more 3 a.m. calls—we’re definitely going to miss you around here. Things just won’t be quite the same without Tic keeping us on our toes.
Thank you for your service, your friendship, and all the moments you’ve shared with us. You’ve more than earned this retirement!
🚗💼➡️🏖️
Wishing you nothing but relaxation, laughter, and plenty of well-deserved downtime.
Enjoy retirement, Ticster —we won’t say goodbye… just “10-7 for now!” ❤️
For any of our responders out and about today, stop by and wish Tic a happy retirement. You know where we are.
