Here's a message worth repeating: Seat belts save lives!

From 2025-2026 in Tennessee, an unbuckled driver was 3 times more likely to die in a crash than a driver wearing their seat belt.

Buckling up every trip, every time is the easiest way to prevent injury or death in the event of a crash.

Riding an ATV/UTV on county roads is legal in Tennessee, but not without the right precautions. Your vehicle must be road-legal with proper registration and title, and you must obey all traffic signs and signals, just like you would in a car or on a motorcycle.

For safety, wear a helmet for both off-road adventures and driving on pavement.

Never operate an ATV while impaired.

It's important for drivers to pay attention in school zones even outside of active school hours. Slow down and keep a close eye out for vehicles making sudden stops or for kids crossing the street. Remember that children are unpredictable and may forget to look both ways before crossing the street.

School buses are among the safest vehicles on the road. Students are actually more at risk of injury when getting on or off the bus than they are while aboard.

Slow down and leave extra following distance for school buses. Pay attention to the road, especially in residential areas during school commuting times.

Remind your child that the bus stop is not a place to run or play.

UPDATED POST

Smyrna High School parents,

This is James Evans again with Rutherford County Schools. We want to update you about the precautionary lockdown at Smyrna High School. The lockdown has ended.

Police received an anonymous call this morning with a bomb threat against the school. The school was locked down immediately as a precaution, which is standard procedure. Law enforcement and multiple other agencies responded. The school has been cleared and the bomb threat was bogus. The school is returning to normal operation and all students are safe.

We are not dismissing school today, but we do understand that some parents may want to check out their children early. If you do, please enter the school at McWilliams Drive, not Bulldog Circle.

We appreciate your patience while we addressed the situation. We have standard safety and response procedures in place to ensure the safety of students. Thanks again.


ORIGINAL POST;

Parents, Smyrna High is on precautionary lockdown for police investigation.

Parents should not come to school but can wait at Lifepoint Church if you want.

All students are safe. We will have more info for you soon.

Speeding is a critical safety issue for teen drivers. As their confidence behind the wheel increases, so does the temptation to test boundaries, especially when peers are present. Take the lead to address speeding with your teen driver and get involved in the learning-to-drive process.

Tennessee has lost a true treasure.

Dolly Parton’s impact reached far beyond the stage. Through her music, generosity and commitment to literacy, including Books from Birth, she opened doors and inspired generations of Tennesseans.

In law enforcement, we understand the importance of service and giving back to the community. Dolly embodied that spirit throughout her life, never forgetting where she came from and always finding ways to help others.

Rest easy, Dolly. Your legacy of service will live on across the Volunteer State. 💙

Driver assistance technologies help to keep you and your passengers safe, as well as others on the road. Technology can help drivers of all ages and experience levels, but remember that it is never an excuse to speed or drive distracted.
