Texting while driving ban goes into effect Wednesday


Posted: On WKRN Channel 2

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Beginning Wednesday, it will be illegal for drivers in Tennessee to send or receive text messages while driving.

The measure, sponsored by Republicans Rep. Jon Lundberg of Bristol and Sen. Jim Tracy of Shelbyville, exempts certain officials, such as officers of the state, campus police officers and emergency medical technicians, when performing their duties.

The action is considered a nonmoving traffic violation and violators will be fined $50.
No points can be added to a person's driver's license.

Opponents have argued that law enforcement may not be able to tell whether drivers are texting or dialing and that texting is already covered under the state's distracted driving law.
Tennessee is the tenth state to outlaw texting while driving.

Alaska, California, Utah, Minnesota, Arkansas, Louisiana, Virginia, New York and Connecticut already have bans in place or that will take effect this year.

shift of assignments involving nine police department commanders and captains

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Chief Ronal Serpas today announced a shift of assignments involving nine police department commanders and captains effective July 1 in keeping with his commitment to broaden the management experience of precinct and division leaders.

“As I told all of our captains and commanders more than one year ago, it is vitally important for a police department our size to develop the careers of senior leadership by exposing them to the challenges and rewards of managing various police department components during their tenures,” Chief Serpas said. “Too often in police work, precinct and division-level managers become stagnant by staying in one assignment for decades. That practice is a disservice to not only the employees, but the citizens we serve.”

“A number of the persons transferring to new assignments have been in their current positions for several years. I have every expectation that all will be very successful in their new roles.”

The nine captains and commanders taking on new assignments are:

Captain Todd Henry, who currently oversees the Specialized Investigations Division, will become the Commander of the Hermitage Precinct.

Commander Michelle Richter, who currently oversees the Hermitage Precinct, will become the Commander of the West Precinct.

Captain Paul Trickey, who currently oversees the Strategic Development Division, will become the Captain over the Specialized Investigations Division.

Commander Mickey Miller, who currently oversees the West Precinct, will become the Captain over the Warrants Division.

Captain Karl Roller, who currently oversees the Warrants Division, will become the Captain over the Identification Division.

Captain Mike Hagar, who currently oversees the Identification Division, will become the Captain over the Strategic Development Division.

Captain Rita Brockmann-Baker, who currently oversees the Domestic Violence Division, will become the Executive Officer in the Administrative Services Bureau.

Captain Michelle Donegan, who is currently a Field Supervisor, will become the Captain over the Domestic Violence Division.

Captain Ben Dicke, who is currently the Executive Officer in the Administrative Services Bureau, will become a Field Supervisor.
