Thank you, Mayor Norton and Smyrna Public Safety Foundation .

Smyrna Mayor Derek Norton says Smyrna is fortunate to have exceptional first responders, and community support plays an important role in recognizing the men and women who serve every day.

The Smyrna Public Safety Foundation helps strengthen that connection by supporting fire, police and EMT personnel while creating opportunities for the community to show its appreciation.

We’re proud to play a part in bringing Smyrna and its first responders closer together, and we’re grateful to everyone who helps make that work possible.
