(SMYRNA, TN)  Area emergency responders are always working to improve their skills. An example of that occurred Friday (2/18/2022) with Smyrna Police personnel attending the COPS (Concerns of Police Survivors) training class in Mt. Juliet.

Topics included emotional support for law enforcement, impacts of Line of Duty Deaths, and suicide awareness and prevention. Presenters included law enforcement personnel or survivors of family members lost to Line of Duty Deaths or suicide.

This training provided critical information and perspective on how to support law enforcement officers, dispatchers, and survivors as they navigate what they see and experience in the line of duty.
