I was very excited to welcome this group this morning. This is always a fun experience!

20 years ago, Katrina changed everything.  I can still see the water rising on Canal St. The faces of those we helped. The ones we couldn't. As an NOPD Leiutenant, I saw the worst of it, but I also saw the best in people. I'll never forget the strength of my city. #Katrina20

Memories

Gotta love Coach Sumrall. Roll Wave!

Knoxville is setting a great example for other cities to reduce crime in collaboration with the community. Proud of the real difference our partnership with Violence Reduction Center is making for our community.

Our chaplains are the best! Last year alone, they gave over 12,000 volunteer hours to our community. We are so thankful for their selfless commitment and daily service.

Go Vols!

We are proud to partner with Metro Nashville PD and LMPD for the Tri-City Police Leadership Academy, which kicked off this week in Knoxville. Our department is committed to investing in our officers and staff and building the next generation of leaders. wvlt.tv/2025/10/13/kno…

Great day at #IACP2025! Proud to share how our Project TLC initiative is driving real results in Knoxville. It's not just about reducing crime, it's about building trust and enhancing community relationships. Our team showed how place-based violence reduction works.

Congrats to Captain Nevin Long of KPD East District on graduating the UChicago Policing Leadership Academy! I am honored that our leaders continue to represent Knoxville nationwide. Well done!

Our team is honored to be chosen by the National Policing Institute as a candidate to become a Knowledge & Innovation Site focused on Community Trust & Partnership and Violent Crime Reduction Strategies. We are proud to help other agencies learn from our successful strategies.

We are proud of our detectives for their hard work in securing this indictment. Our priority is now to locate and capture this fugitive. If you have any information on Dashonn Moten's whereabouts, please contact East TN Valley Crime Stoppers at 865-215-7165.

During the holidays, it’s especially important to remember and appreciate the dedication of our officers. This was a wonderful story about two excellent individuals. Thank you for serving and protecting us, ensuring that the rest of our community can enjoy their time off safely.

Thank you, Tunnel to Towers Foundation, for honoring the sacrifice of Knoxville Police TN Officer Wisbens Antoine. Lifting the mortgage burden from his family this Christmas is a profound act of love and support. True heros supporting heros. Thank you for all you do for us!
