We have a smaller group this year. Five participants have registered, but I hope this will still be appreciated by those agencies that will be conducting and guiding our tour of their facilities on August 6.
(It appears that a tour of special law enforcement services may not be as popular as touring Jack Daniel's Distillery, but such is the nature of our participation this year.) Because of the shift from mid-July to August, we may have also lost participation by some members whose kids are returning to school.
Here is a review of Friday activities:
We will meet outside the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Building, 901 R.S. Gass Blvd., Nashville, before 9:00 a.m. Training Director Jim Green will be meeting us.
Following the visit to the TBI, we will visit the Medical Examiner's office at 8:50 R.S. Gass Bld.
Then a short visit to the Tennessee Highway Patrol District Communications and Dispatch center, which is also off R.S. Gass Blvd.at the base of the big tower!
If we proceed out Briley Parkway from Ellington Parkway, I would suggest we eat lunch at one of the restaurants off Music Valley Dr. near the Opryland Hotel There is an Applebee's Grill at the Radisson Hotel at Opryland, 2401 Music Valley Drive, and other eating places, such as a Cracker Barrell Restaurant.
Following lunch, we hope to arrive at the THP Support Services office, 225 Ezell Pike (Behind the THP Offices at 1603 Murfreesboro Road. from approximately 1:30 pm to 2:30 p.m.). We will conclude the tour with a 3:00 p.m. visit to the Nashville International Airport to view an airport fire station and discuss their special public safety operations unique to an international airport.
Hope we have an enjoyable day.
