DUI Enforcement Checkpoint Partnership

Last night, Chief Bean and Lieutenant Kite had the opportunity to assist the Tennessee Highway Safety Office during a DUI enforcement checkpoint operation.

It is encouraging to see so many law enforcement agencies working together toward a common goal—keeping our roadways safe. Collaborative efforts such as these help deter impaired driving, enhance public safety, and strengthen partnerships between agencies across our communities.

The Graysville Police Department is proud to support these initiatives and remains committed to making our roads safer for everyone. We appreciate the opportunity to participate and look forward to continuing these important partnerships in the future

Memorial Day weekend is almost here... which means grills across Tennessee will be firing up. Before you light those coals, take a minute to think about what happens AFTER the burgers come off.

Coals can stay hot enough to start a fire for 24 to 48 hours after grilling, even when they look and feel completely cold. Every year, improperly discarded ashes spark fires in trash cans, garages, decks and dry vegetation.

Here's how to dispose of charcoal the safe way:

✅ Close the lid and vents on your grill to let coals burn out completely
✅ Douse the ashes thoroughly with water and stir until cold to the touch
✅ Wait at least 48 hours before final disposal
✅ Transfer cooled ashes to a metal container with a tight-fitting lid
✅ Place that container on a non-flammable surface, away from your home, deck or any vegetation
✅ Never dump ashes in the trash, leaves or mulch

A few extra minutes of cleanup can prevent a wildfire that puts your home, your family and your neighborhoods at risk.

Grill smart. Dispose smarter.

🚨RIP DEPUTY DOYLE🚨

In Honor of Deputy Doyle Fugate

Deputy Doyle Fugate’s patrol car has been placed in front of the Sheriff’s Office as a tribute to a man who meant so much to our department and community.

For anyone in the community who would like to stop by, pay their respects, or simply take a moment to honor Doyle’s memory, you are welcome to do so. Whether through a prayer, a memory, or just a quiet moment, we know it would mean so much to recognize the impact he had on so many lives.

Doyle was more than an deputy — he was a friend, a smiling face, and a true pillar of this community. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

816 Doyle Fugate — End of Watch, but never forgotten.
