LA VERGNE, Tenn. (WGNS) — The La Vergne Police Department has unveiled a new patrol vehicle design that will feature the LaVergne High School “L” logo on every squad car moving forward, underscoring a citywide commitment to community partnership and student support.

The redesign was led by La Vergne Police Department officers, whose vision helped bring the concept to life in collaboration with school and city leadership. LaVergne High School Principal Dr. Theowauna Hatchett, head football and track coach Christopher Johnson, and Police Chief Christopher Moews (pronounced MAYES) were instrumental in advancing the effort from idea to implementation.

Chief Moews:

Dr. Hatchett said the initiative reflects the impact of strong partnerships between schools, local government, and public safety:

The unveiling drew strong student participation, with members of the cheerleading squad, band, and dance team attending and performing in support of the new design.

Mayor Jason Cole also spoke during the event, emphasizing the significance of the initiative as a reflection of La Vergne’s investment in its schools and its future. As the updated vehicles begin to roll out across the city, the design will serve not only as a public safety presence but also as a symbol of unity. This visual change is intended to reinforce the connection between the La Vergne Police Department, LaVergne High School, and the broader Middle Tennessee community.
