I have lived in both Brentwood and Nolensville for the past 20 years. As our cities have grown, so has the crime. My biggest concern is the drugs at Ravenwood. This means drugs in our community. I don’t understand why drug dogs can’t be brought in to schools at a minimum of once a month. Everyone knows the drug situation at Ravenwood but it is swept under the rug.
I have walked the Crockett walking trails for 20 years. I think it is time that they are monitored by police on bikes. I know that was tried before, a long time ago. I still feel safe there but the walking path clientele is changing. I think it time to increase police presence before it gets out of hand. I love Williamson County.

From Monday through Friday during business hours anyone is welcome to come to city hall in Nolensville adjacent to the police department and drop off their prescriptions.
