Franklin Police Officer Bobby Dilworth has been named Officer of the Month. The honor follows his work that led to the April 14 arrest of a convicted felon and his partner, and the recovery of more than $1,000 in stolen high-end cologne and perfume, and nearly $4,000 in stolen designer eyeglasses.

Officer Dilworth was patrolling the Galleria parking lot in Cool Springs, when he stopped a car for a minor equipment violation, discovering the stolen merchandise inside. Officer Dilworth was personally responsible for 43% of the self-initiated arrests generated by his shift, in April.

“Officer Dilworth is an incredible crime-fighter,” said Chief Deborah Faulkner. “His commitment to keeping this city and our citizens safe is evident in the hard work he does every day.”
