MNPD seeks increased budget for alternative police, school resource officers and entertainment district.

The Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD) is experiencing a significant reduction in crime rates, as discussed during recent budget talks. According to the article from The Tennessean, violent crime has decreased by 15% and property crime by 10% over the past year. Chief John Drake attributes these improvements to effective community policing strategies and the use of technology like license plate readers and gunshot detection systems. Despite the positive trends, the department is seeking to increase its budget to hire more officers, aiming to improve response times and further reduce crime. The proposed budget increase would also fund additional training and community outreach programs to strengthen ties with the public and enhance overall safety in Nashville.
