Today we want to recognize and celebrate all of the women who serve in law enforcement. Their strength, dedication, and compassion they serve with is commendable.
Here at our department, we’re especially proud of Officer Brittanie Miller, our department’s one and only female officer.
Thank you for your service, your commitment to our community, and for representing women in law enforcement!
On September 11, 2001, nearly 3,000 lives were taken in acts of terrorism at the World Trade Center in New York City, the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, and aboard Flight 93.
In the face of unimaginable sorrow, Americans came together. First responders ran toward danger. Strangers helped strangers. Communities supported one another, and countless acts of courage and selflessness reminded us of the strength we have in unity.
Today, we remember every life lost, we honor the survivors, the families who lost loved ones, and all those whose lives were forever changed by that day.
Twenty-five years later, we remember, we honor, and we will never forget.
This Labor Day, we’re tipping our hats to everyone out there workin’ 9 to 5 — and every shift in between.
Whether you’re bakin’, buildin’, teachin’, fixin’, protectin’, servin’, or keepin’ things running behind the scenes, today is for celebrating you.
We hope everyone has a fun (and safe) Labor Day!

Please slow down, stay alert and help keep our students safe as they head back to school!
This year, Officer Anderson is back in school for a slightly different reason. helping keep our students safe, building relationships, and supporting our schools as Sumner PD’s School Resource Officer.
As backpacks get packed, alarm clocks get set, and we all start wondering where the summer went, we want to wish all of our students, teachers and staff a fun, safe and productive school year!
