Two officers to get Hope Award

Williamson County is unarguably one of the Nation’s best communities to work, to live, and to raise a family. It is no accident, nor did it happen in a vacuum. Our community is protected, and well served by men and woman who sacrifice their safety for others. This Sunday, Full Life Assembly of God will honor Franklin Police Officer Tim Damm and Assistant Fire Chief Todd Horton for their service to the this city. 

Last summer, Franklin Police Officer Tim Damm (pictured above) had just finished his shift and was on his way home when he spotted the getaway car of two men who had just robbed a Franklin gas station. Because of Officer Damm’s keen eye and quick action, both men and the gun they used in the robbery were quickly taken off of Franklin streets. 

Nominated unanimously by the firefighters he serves, Assistant Chief Todd Horton (pictured right) is being recognized for his behind-the-scenes contributions critical to the success of the Franklin Fire Department. Assistant Chief Horton oversees the Department’s budget, purchasing, grant writing, technology and radio communications. 

The Hope Award is an annual recognition of emergency personnel who have excelled in their job, and in some unique way – given hope to our community. “Each year, we enjoy this opportunity to say thank you to those who give of themselves in service to the safety and security of our families.” said Pastor Nick Serban III. 

Full Life Assembly is located at 813 Oak Meadow Drive in Franklin. The event is open to the public and begins at 11 am.
