Great night tonight for the City of Franklin and the Police Department.
We were able to celebrate and recognize Captain Kerry Atwood on his retirement after 38 plus years.
Our newest Probationary Officer, Adam Destrampe, was sworn in and will begin his career with FPD. I want to thank his family for attending and showing support. We welcome you all to our FPD family.
Lt. Scott Carter was promoted to the well deserved rank of Captain. Scott's wife was able to pin his new badge on him during the ceremony. His family was also in attendance showing support.
Sgt. Jayson McNicholas, earned his promotion to Lieutenant. It was great to see the number of Officers and families in attendance showing support.
I am honored, humbled and blessed to serve with such an amazing and supportive department of Police Officers and support staff. I look forward to moving forward with our community and growing our community partnership with the citizens of Franklin.
Well deserved gentlemen. Stay safe and know you are supported.
