Chief Terence Green started his career path in law enforcement at
Minnesota State University Moorehead where he earned a Bachelor
of Science degree in Criminal Justice in 1991. Upon graduation, he
returned back to Michigan and in 1992, was hired by the Genesee
County Sheriff's Department as a corrections officer. While working
full time as a corrections officer, Terence was sent to paramedic
training and successfully graduated as a licensed paramedic
in 1994.
Following his paramedic training, Terence was then sent to
Delta Police Academy and graduated as a certified police officer in 1995.
Terence was initially assigned as a road deputy within the
agency and remained in that position until 1999, when he was promoted to Sergeant and then assigned
to three different narcotics teams over several years. These included details with the Drug Enforcement
Agency, Flint Area Narcotics Group and the Genesee County Sheriff's Department narcotics enforcement
team, also known as the "Posse". It was during his time working narcotics, that Terence found his
passion for shutting down drug houses in the fight against illegal street drugs; a primary goal he still
carries with him to this day. In 2009, Terence was promoted to Captain until he retired from the
Sheriff's Department in 2013.
Upon retirement, Terence joined the University of Michigan Flint Police Department where he held
the rank of Sergeant. He remained at the University of Michigan Police Department, while attending
the Northwestern University School of Police Staff and Command and successfully graduating in 2014.
On September 25th, 2014, Terence was sworn in as the Chief of Police of the Mt. Morris Township
Police Department.
