Alarm Response

NPD Patrol Officers respond to emergency or burglary alarms. Many are false alarms, but the NPD treats each one with grave seriousness in case there is a real emergency situation. If you are on the scene of a real or false alarm, please cooperate with our officers. They may ask for your identification or take other appropriate measures to ensure your safety. Officers may leave an alarm notification tag if no one is on the scene of what appears to be a false alarm.

Please note: The Town of Nolensville does not require permits for commercial or burglary alarms.


After-Hours Business Patrols

NPD Patrol Officers routinely patrol local business after-hours, deterring suspicious activity and possible property crimes. Sometimes officers will leave a door handle tag when they patrol a business after-hours and everything appears secure, or to note something that seems out of place. These are simply courtesy checks by our officers, and are not an official warning or violation. Please contact our Administrative Offices at (615) 776-6690 for any questions or concerns about after-hours business patrols.
