With the alarming rise in school threats across Tennessee and the nation, Sheriff Mike Neal and Chief John Argo want to emphasize the seriousness of these incidents. In light of the Tennessee Sheriffs Association’s recent statement, we want to reiterate our unwavering commitment to the safety of our community’s children. Every threat, no matter how small or large, is taken seriously and investigated thoroughly. Our department will not hesitate to prosecute those responsible for spreading fear and disrupting the learning environment. The safety of our students is our top priority.
