The Crossville Police Department has been recognized by the Tennessee Highway Safety Office with two awards for enforcement and education. Captain Brian Tilley said the department is proud to be honored for impaired driving awareness and seat belt safety. Tilley said enforcement on the road is important, but so is spreading the message of safety.

“We reach out to local organizations, we also provide car seats here at the police department,” Tilley said. “We go to community health fairs and hand out materials at our local fairs.”

The Impaired Driving Awareness Award and Seat belts Are For Everyone Campaign are statewide. They recognize the work Crossville police did in 2019.

Tilley said the department saw a 50 percent increase in seat belt citations from the previous year. FULL STORY HERE
