New Technology Helping State Troopers
THP Colonel Tracy Trott
What troopers are now doing has never been done before. What they’re doing could give anyone a second chance.
Colonel Tracy Trott calls it predictive analytics. It uses color-coded data to predict the future and prevent highway deaths.
On a more simplified level, troopers can look at maps based on crash history, maps, and things like big events.
The models rate certain areas by color to determine the highest accident risk. It can even predict the time of day when there’s a greater risk.
Troopers will then deploy to the area and use their basic traffic enforcement skills to help lower the chance of a tragedy.
Tennessee has been using it, and accidents are down 7 percent. Four of the last five years have been the safest on state roads since 1963.
“We think the public and citizens of Tennessee are seeing the benefit,” Trott added.
This year to date, there have been nearly 40 fewer deaths in Tennessee. (WKRN-News 2)

Tullahoma City Clean Up day is Saturday, July 25 from 9:00 am until Noon. Volunteers are asked to report to Public Works for tools and assignments. Also, volunteers who register at Public Works will be entered to win two tickets to South Jackson Goes Country on August 7, 8 or 9.

Concerned citizens can take action by reporting litter when you witness littering from vehicles on the state’s roadways by calling 1-877-8-LITTER. If you get the license plate, they’ll hear from the state. The letter will include information about how to contain their litter and inform them that litterers can be fined up to $1,500. Residents can also report hot spots to Public Works at 454-1768.
