Comments

The City's website - www.bristoltn.org - has a convenient tab at the top of the home page to facilitate contact with us by telephone, mail, or electronic mail.

Two electronically-sent comments came in this past day complimenting the Police Department for assistance rendered on two separate incidents - a family stranded on Christmas Eve as the result of a vehicle accident and an 18-wheeler that ended-up lost in a residential neighborhood and unable to find its way back safely to the highway.

In the first instance, the commenter remarked "Police are under a lot of pressure right now to do the right thing, respecting the public and ensuring our safety. It was the actions of your officers on Christmas Eve that reminded me just how vital they are to any community, and you should be extremely proud of the force looking out for you."

In the second instance, the trucker shared "I just got deeper and deeper in trouble until I was in a serious situation that I was trying to avoid. I had to call for help. The officers came to my rescue and got me to the highway which was where I needed to be. The only thing that got torn up was my nerves. I don't know the names of the three officers who came to help me but please advise your police department that I thank them from the bottom of my heart."

It's always refreshing to hear these stories and to know that our employees are working hard every day to serve our residents and visitors. Thank you Chief Blaine Wade - and the men and women of the Bristol Police Department - for the job you do so well.
