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.
City leaders said the bump shows their men and women in blue how much city leadership values their service.
They want to hire and retain the best and brightest. For those interested in applying to FPD, click here.
I'm not sure there is a story that's brought a bigger smile to our faces than this one celebrating Ms. Marie. The story of her service during World War II is amazing in itself — she is a true Rosie the Riveter! What was also amazing was to see was how an entire community turned out to celebrate her. You've got to check this out!
