NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Happening next month, a chance for those with non-violent offenses to clear their name. MNPD and the DA's office will host the fourth consecutive Safe Surrender event.
In some cases, the offenses are completely wiped from a suspect's record. This year the Nashville Safe Surrender event will be December 6 and 7 at the Galilee Missionary Baptist Church on Herman Street.
Metro Police said no gimmicks and no tricks are involved. If you have a non-violent arrest warrant, you will be able to meet with a judge to possibly clear it up and get favorable consideration. Juvenile court staff will also be on hand for younger offenders.
In 2022, 160 people came out to address legal or child support issues: 58 had outstanding warrants. All but three were able to go home from the church including two who didn't have out-of-county warrants.
The line ''see something, say something" took on new meaning recently in Bowling Green. Two alert neighbors helped tip police to stolen Corvettes from the nearby assembly plant. That led law enforcement to find 8 stolen Corvettes worth over $1 million. We may all be able to learn a little lesson from this.
