La Vergne, TN - Since stepping into the role, La Vergne Police Chief Christopher Moews has made it clear—this city is no safe haven for criminals. With a renewed focus on community service and proactive enforcement, the department is seeing real results. September’s crime stats tell the story: vehicle burglaries plummeted by 80% compared to August, with just one reported incident. That’s not a fluke—it’s the result of sharp police work and cutting-edge crime-fighting tools.

Motor vehicle thefts also saw a significant drop, down 37.5%, while drug-related arrests jumped 27%, showing officers are cracking down hard on illegal substances. DUI arrests held steady, and overall arrests dipped slightly, but the volume of traffic stops and citations shows officers are staying vigilant on the roads.

With 2,422 calls for service in September, the department continues to respond swiftly and professionally to the needs of the community. Chief Moews’ strategy is working, and the word is spreading—La Vergne is not the place to test the law.

Residents are noticing the difference, and the department is grateful for the public’s support. It’s a partnership built on trust, technology, and a shared commitment to safety. As the stats roll in and the streets grow quieter, one thing is certain: La Vergne is raising the bar for public safety in Rutherford County.
