Sgt. Chris Paterson
Our hero this month is Sgt. Chris Patterson with the Manchester Police Department. After receiving a degree in Criminal Justice from MTSU he attended the police academy in 2000. He began his career in law enforcement the same year with the Warren County Sheriff’s Department as a School Resource Officer. Patterson was hired in 2005 by the Manchester Police Department as a patrol officer. Patterson was promoted to the rank of Sergeant in 2012, taking over the training duties of the department. He is in charge of all training for the officers of Manchester PD. The department also provides training in multiple facets relating to law enforcement, he schedules and instructs for both the law enforcement and civilian arena. Sgt. Patterson has the difficult task of maintaining the department to P.O.S.T. standards, both in training and personnel. He is also the liaison between the department and the Governors Highway Safety Office, applying for grants and training provided at no cost to the citizens. Patterson is a very valuable asset to the department and the City of Manchester. Citizens are fortunate to have someone with his abilities, knowledge and education as part of the administrative staff of the department.
We are continuing to ask for the public’s help for more hometown heroes. Go to our Facebook page or the Al White Ford Lincoln Mercury Facebook page to nominate a law enforcement official. Tell us why you think someone that serves Coffee County in law enforcement deserves to be chosen as a “Hometown Hero”. The man or woman that is selected each month will be recognized on WMSRradio.com and receive a nice surprise from Al White Motors.
Thank you to all that serve and protect us, our Hometown Heroes.
