SUMMARY: In SAR County, cities like Hendersonville are enhancing police-community relationships through a new technology initiative, allowing citizens and businesses to aid First Responders in emergencies. The program facilitates rapid video sharing between police and community members, enabling real-time crime monitoring and quicker investigations. Assistant Chief Scott Ryan demonstrates how officers can access neighborhood surveillance footage and commercial cameras, effectively reducing investigation times from days to minutes. This collaboration is bolstered by a grant aimed at crime fighting, allowing officers to visualize crime trends and gather evidence efficiently, transforming the approach to community safety.

Multiple cities in Sumner County are part of a program where citizens and businesses help first responders react to emergencies more quickly and more safely than ever before.
