The Franklin County Sheriff’s Department reports that the Tip-A-Cop event at Drafts & Watercrafts at Twin Creeks was a tremendous success. The generosity of the community allowed us to raise $8,150. That set a record for the most money raised at a single Tip-A-Cop event in the state.

Thanks to everyone that donated to Special Olympics Tennessee. The Franklin County Sheriff’s Department also wants to thank their deputies, Winchester Police Department, and Tennessee Highway Patrol, that worked so hard at the event.
