The Franklin Police Department has scheduled two, free 1.5 hour seminars designed to help keep citizens safe during the unthinkable.
It can happen anytime, anywhere – and it does. Acts of mass violence in public places continue to rock communities to their core. “Franklin Police Officers stand at the ready to deal with the unthinkable,” said Chief Deborah Faulkner. “Community preparedness, combined with law enforcement response to these situations, can make a difference – and save lives.”
Franklin Police Officers will share with citizens, employers, and community leaders, way to improve their response to an unforeseen, mass violence encounter. During both of the one and a half hour seminars, officers will discuss three main, national best practices: Avoid, Deny, Defend.
The seminars are free and open to the public – but pre-registration is required.

Lamadzia Hill
Age: 18
Nashville, TN
On December 26, 2017, Franklin Police arrested 18-year-old Lamadzia Hill for Drug Possession, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, two counts of Assault, and Resisting Arrest. After bonding out of jail, Hill filed a formal complaint with the Department’s Office of Professional Standards, alleging that the arresting officer inappropriately touched her during the arrest.
An in-depth investigation was conducted and conclusive evidence proves that Hill made the entire story up. Filing a false report of this nature is a felony offense. Evidence presented to a Williamson County Grand Jury resulted in Hill’s indictment for Filing a False Report.
Yesterday, Hill was arrested outside of her Nashville home and booked into the Williamson County Jail. She is now free on a $10,000 bond and due in court 04/30/2018 at 9:00 am.
Filing a False report is a Class-D felony, punishable by up to 4 years in prison and a $5,000 fine.

Several utility poles were badly damaged this morning after a Columbia Avenue driver fell asleep at the wheel.
Middle Tennessee Electric and AT&T have to make considerable repairs, which has Columbia Avenue closed, in both directions, from Downs Boulevard to Battle Avenue.
This closure will last through the morning rush hour, which will result in considerable congestion on Columbia Avenue, Downs Boulevard, Battle Avenue, and W. Main Street.
Increased drive time on other routes in
and around the downtown Franklin area is expected.
