The Coopertown Police 3rd Annual Touch-A-Truck In Photos

Coopertown, Tennessee

Saturday, September 23, 2023, marked the 3rd year Coopertown Police have hosted a Touch-A-Truck event for the community. The 1st annual event coincided with Coopertown’s 25th Anniversary Celebration. The 2nd annual Touch-A-Truck was held in conjunction with the Coopertown stop for Experience Robertson County. Coopertown Police hosted this year’s stand-alone event at Coopertown Middle School. Touch-A-Truck is a fun event providing the opportunity for the community to get an up-close look at the equipment and resources used by first responders and various agencies that support the Coopertown community. There was a Search And Rescue (SAR) demonstration put on by the Robertson County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) and Coopertown Police Department. While watching a video monitor displaying drone footage from the Coopertown Police sUAS Pilot Team, visitors were able to watch as EMA’s K-9 team located an individual hiding in the woods. Additionally, music and games were on hand to entertain. Visitors had the opportunity to dunk a cop. Donations received by Coopertown Police at this event benefit the agency’s Shop-With-A-Cop program that helps ensure disadvantaged children have gifts for Christmas.

This year’s event was made a success thanks to all of the volunteers, agencies, and vendors that participated in the event.
