The latest episode of ‘Behind The Badge,’ a program presented by the Murfreesboro Police Department, focuses on recent safety initiatives and technological advancements. Public Safety Information Director Larry Flowers hosts the show, which is available on YouTube and airs on Murfreesboro City TV.
In August, Murfreesboro Police Department School Resource Officers collaborated with other first responders in Rutherford County for an active shooter training session. This training aims to prepare officers for potential incidents, though the hope is that such skills will never be needed.
