A desk-side chat with Franklin Mayor, Dr. Ken Moore Part 6

The key term is underappreciated says Mayor Moore. Safety is important and we are the safest community in the state. The crime rate according to the Mayor dropped 7 percent from last year and is 56 percent lower than the rest of the state.

The Fire Department has an insurance rating of 2, which means the response time is very fast. Over half of the city workers are involved in safety, with firefighters who saved 5 lives last year and were awarded for heroism.

Tomorrow the Mayor discusses communication with the community.
