Public Safety

For a copy of the powerpoint presentation from the April 11 Public Safety Seminar, click here.

The first and foremost thought we need to convey to our citizens is the need to call the Metro Nashville Police Department, at the non-emergency number of 862-8600, when suspicious activity occurs in their area. For a suspicious person or suspicious vehicle call we prefer a chance to get an officer in the area quickly to at least identify the person or vehicle if a problem is discovered later. Hopefully by doing this you can help prevent a crime.

After calling metro, call me at 557-7329 so I can pass the information to patrol officers and to the rest of Oak Hill's citizens.

Are you wanting more patrol officers in your neighborhood? Please call me with requests, but you can also contact Oak Hill’s representatives on the Metro Council to request additional Metro police patrols. Sean McGuire can be contacted at sean.mcguire@nashville.gov or 260-2634.

Another request from concerned citizens is that they want to get involved to help the police by organizing a Neighborhood Watch program in their area. They can do that by contacting either Lt. Dana Lyons or Sgt. Connie Tripp at the Metro West precinct at 862-7747, who will be glad to help you get started and stay in contact with your group.

Here to serve you,

Tommy

Smart911

At an Oak Hill Safety Seminar led by Captain Tommy Campsey at City Hall, Sgt. Twana Chick of the Metropolitan Nashville Police, who coordinates with the Neighborhood Watch Program, said police and emerggency services recommend the Smart911 program to all residents.

Smart911 is a Smartphone application linked with the emergency telephone number used in the United States (911). It allows people to enter the information they want 911 operators to have in case of emergency. This information will not be accessed at any time unless 911 is dialed by the resident.

It's a free and voluntary enrollment. All you need to do is visit Smart911.com and enter any phone numbers you wish to be registered, as well as other information that may be helpful to responders in a critical situation. Information can be added about family, children and pets, medical information, photos of the house, and basic information about the layout of the residence. This information can be very valuable to those responding during an emergency, and is excellent for those who have chronic diseases or a disability.
