Homeland Security

Nashville is a city that values a high quality of life for its residents and visitors. Whether it is neighborhoods and schools, roads and infrastructure, sports and recreation, or country music and other entertainment - public safety is critical to our success in being one of America's great cities.

Vigilance is our best defense in preventing, detecting and responding to domestic terrorism. That is why Nashville is focused on an aggressive homeland security program that emphasizes protecting our communities by constantly evaluating resources, enhancing training for first responders, educating our citizens and strengthening partnerships among Metro departments and various agencies and organizations in the public and private sectors.
