From the desk of Chief Dale Armour:
This past weekend, our community experienced a tragic incident involving a missing person. Anyone whose family has faced the uncertainty of a missing loved one understands the anguish families endure as they wait for answers. Sadly, this search ended with an outcome no family or community ever wants to face.
We grieve alongside the family, friends, and all those affected by this tragedy. While words cannot ease their loss, we hope they find strength in the support of those around them and comfort in knowing they are not alone.
I want to express my sincere appreciation to the first responders who assisted with the search and recovery. When called upon, neighboring agencies came together without hesitation, providing personnel, equipment, and resources that were essential to the operation. Their professionalism, compassion, and commitment to service were evident throughout.
Working alongside the Nolensville Police Department were Nolensville Fire & Rescue, Williamson County Emergency Management Agency, the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office Aviation Unit, the Franklin Police Department Dive Team, and the Rutherford County Emergency Management Dive Team. On behalf of the Nolensville Police Department, I offer my thanks to every responder, volunteer, and agency that assisted us.
Most importantly, our focus remains where it belongs, with the family and loved ones navigating an unimaginable loss. Please keep them, and all those affected by this tragedy, in your thoughts in the days ahead.

The Nolensville Police Department, in partnership with Williamson County Schools and the Williamson County Schools Transportation Department, will soon launch a school bus safety initiative focused on protecting students traveling to and from school and addressing unsafe driving around school buses.
As part of the initiative, Nolensville police officers will ride aboard selected school buses to observe motorists for traffic violations that could put students at risk, including motorists who illegally pass stopped school buses.
This initiative is about one thing: student safety. The officers’ role aboard the buses is strictly limited to traffic safety. They will not be involved in student behavior, school discipline, or any other activity taking place on the buses.
“Our only purpose is to identify unsafe driving around school buses and help ensure that every student arrives at school and returns home safely,” said Nolensville Police Chief Dale Armour. “When a school bus activates its warning lights and stop arm, motorists must stop and remain stopped. A few moments of patience can prevent a tragedy.”
Drivers are reminded to slow down, stay alert in school zones, eliminate distractions, obey posted speed limits, and stop when required for school buses loading or unloading students. Passing a stopped school bus is dangerous and can put a child’s life at risk.
Let’s work together to keep Nolensville’s students safe on their way to and from school.

Everyone wants to feel safe on the road, that’s why we #DriveSober or call a friend or rideshare when we plan to drink.
Dogs can’t sweat to cool down like humans can. They also can’t unlock a door, roll down the window, and some may be unable to get attention if they need help.
Pets or children are just not safe in vehicles unattended, even if it’s only for a few minutes.

Over the past several months, the Nolensville Police Department has received a growing number of citizen complaints and has also observed firsthand an increase in issues involving e-bikes and electric dirt bikes. Many of these concerns involve unsafe operation, a lack of awareness among riders regarding applicable traffic laws, and uncertainty within the community as this technology has developed faster than public understanding of the laws that govern it.
In response, the Nolensville Police Department launched an initiative focused on education, awareness, and officer training. We partnered with the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office and Williamson County Schools to help educate the community while ensuring our officers are fully informed about the legal responsibilities and enforcement options related to these devices. Our department has conducted roll-call training for officers, developed informational pamphlets for riders and parents, and worked to provide the public with clear guidance on what is and is not lawful.
Our primary concern has always been safety — the safety of juveniles riding these e-bikes, the motoring public, and pedestrians using our sidewalks and streets. While education remains a critical part of our approach, it has become clear that education alone has not been enough. As a result, we are now moving into the next phase of this initiative: enforcement.
This enforcement effort is not intended to punish children for the sake of punishment. However, we are seeing repeated violations and increasingly dangerous behavior. Juveniles who violate traffic laws while operating e-bikes, including riding unlawfully on sidewalks or roadways, may be cited. If a rider attempts to flee from law enforcement, that is a serious offense and may result in arrest and transport to juvenile court. Parents should also be aware that they can be held responsible if they knowingly allow unlawful behavior to continue, and they may face legal or civil consequences if property is damaged or someone is injured.
We want kids to enjoy being kids. We recognize that e-bikes are popular and, for many families, are exciting gifts and a convenient way to get around. However, many of these machines are capable of speeds exceeding 40 miles per hour. When operated without proper supervision, training, and respect for traffic laws, they can become extremely dangerous. Nolensville has already experienced several serious e-bike crashes, and we do not want to see a tragedy occur before this issue is taken seriously.
The Nolensville Police Department will continue its public education efforts and remains committed to training, transparency, and community engagement. Moving forward, enforcement will be an important part of that strategy. Our goal is not to take away fun, our goal is to protect lives.
We appreciate WKRN and Andy Cordan for partnering with us on this PSA and helping highlight the concerns we are seeing here in Nolensville.
