Smyrna

The Smyrna City Council authorized a 10-year agreement with Flock Safety to expand the city’s public-safety technology network, a package valued at $5,717,500 that includes additional license-plate recognition cameras, software integration and two remotely launched aerial drones for incident response.

Smyrna’s local heroes will brighten the holidays of 90 area schoolchildren and their families during the annual Shop With a Hero event in early December.
