FRANKLIN, Tenn. (WTVF) — The Franklin Police Department is hoping to fill some open spots and they're turning to QR codes to get the community's attention. Expect to see them on all patrol cars as the innovative marketing tool rolls out.
It's important to note because of a recent salary boost from the city, there's an incentive to work with FPD. The department said their officers are some of the highest paid in the mid-state.
The starting salary for a new officer is now $60,000 and those who are already certified will make at least $65,000. All current sworn officers saw a 3 percent boost in their annual pay.
