FRANKLIN, Tenn. (WTVF) — The Franklin Police Department is inviting the public to attend a free Citizen’s Response to Active Shooter Seminar this evening.
The 90-minute seminar runs from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the Community Room at Franklin Police Headquarters, located at 900 Columbia Ave.
The event is designed to equip community members with critical information and practical strategies to help them stay safe during an active shooter situation. Attendees will learn how to recognize the signs of potential violence before it occurs, develop a survival mindset, and respond decisively during an active threat to protect themselves and others.
No registration is required to attend, and community members can simply show up on the day of the seminar.
Weapons are strictly prohibited inside Franklin Police Headquarters.

Here’s a story offering a great example of how a common cause, and a little creativity, can “intersect” to improve quality of life. Our South Nashville reporter Patsy Montesinos shares how some neighbors decided to take action, following the tragic death of a 77-year-old in a hit-and-run along Antioch Pike earlier this year. See how they used “tactical urbanism” to make the area a little safer for all.
