About Us
In
accordance with the motto of the Franklin Police, "Here to
Serve and Protect", the police station, located at the corner of East
Cedar and South Court Streets, serves the public twenty-four hours a
day, seven days a week.
The Franklin Police includes one Chief, one Captain, one Lieutenant, three Sergeants, two Corporals, and thirteen patrolmen.
The agency has made a major commitment to training of employees. Police officers must
complete eighteen weeks of basic training at the Department
of Criminal Justice Training
in Richmond, Kentucky, successfully
complete a twelve week Field Officer
Training program, and continue in-service training each year and
monthly departmental training.
We provide and coordinate the following: Neighborhood Watch programs, fingerprinting services for the public, and "Safe-Spot" locations for children. Some examples of specialty training our officers have received include marijuana analysis, methamphetamine lab technicians, firearms instructors, ASP instructors, PPCT instructors, crime scene processors, and evidence technicians. Additionally, the department is a member of the National White Collar Crime Center; Chief Holder is a member of the Kentucky Association of Police Chiefs; Lt. McFadden is a member of the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force; and Agent Jayson Paine is a member of the Kentucky Narcotics Officers Association.
All employees of the department have multiple duties and we are trained to do the best job of "serving and protecting" that can be done. The Franklin Police Department is always willing to assist citizens with any problem, whether major or minor, whenever we are needed.
