When a child is inside an unattended vehicle, their temperature can rise quickly and the situation can become dangerous.

No parent or caregiver thinks this can happen to them, but dozens of children each year are either left behind in a vehicle or become trapped inside.

Chattanooga Police Arrest Homicide Suspect - South Germantown Road

An unBRAYlevable call!
Just before 5:00 a.m., CPD responded to reports of two donkeys on the loose. Several officers hoofed it to the suspects, later identified as Squirrely Dan and Oatie Pete. The pair was mostly cooperative while officers located their owners, however, there was some resistance on the journey back home. Some may think the 2.5 hour call would be a hASSle, but our officers enjoyed every minute (and have the selfies to prove it).

AN AWARD & REUNION
It was an emotional afternoon lineup at CPD as Officer Rogers was recognized for his brave actions in front of his peers and reunited with the family he saved from an apartment fire earlier this month. Officer Rogers received the Police Medal, which is given to officers who distinguish themselves through exceptionally meritorious service. And if that wasn't enough excitement, it was also the birthday of the young man Officer Rogers rescued! Of course we had to celebrate with some donuts and singing (badly) to him.
