LA VERGNE, Tenn. - Residents in La Vergne will have an opportunity later this month to speak directly with police leadership about crime trends, neighborhood concerns, and ongoing public safety efforts.

The La Vergne Police Department will host a Community Safety Meeting on Wednesday, June 24, at 6 p.m. at Rock Springs Elementary School, located at 1000 Waldron Road.

The meeting is designed to give residents a chance to hear updates from police, ask questions, and share concerns about safety in their neighborhoods.
