Coopertown, Tennessee
It’s once again time for our annual Touch-A-Truck event! This event gives adults and children of all ages the opportunity to get a close-up look at vehicles and equipment utilized by Coopertown’s law enforcement, fire, EMS, and other first responder or rescue services. Additionally, it is an excellent way to get to know the people who provide service and protection to our community. Coopertown’s inaugural event was held on September 25, 2021, when Coopertown celebrated its 25th anniversary at Coopertown Middle School, and the Coopertown Police Department hosted its First Annual Touch-A-Truck event. The Fifth Annual Touch-A-Truck event is returning to Coopertown Middle School on Saturday, September 20, 2025, from 10 am to 2 pm.
Lots of agencies have been invited to attend this year’s event. However, their participation in the event may depend on available resources, call volume and/or weather conditions. This year’s list of invited agencies includes the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF), Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI), Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP), Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT), Tennessee Highway Safety Office (THSO), Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA), Robertson County Emergency Communications District (E911), Robertson County Sheriff’s Office (RCSO), Robertson County Emergency Management Agency (EMA), Robertson County Emergency Medical Services (EMS), Robertson County Animal Control (RCAC), Pleasant View Volunteer Fire Department (PVVFD), Air Evac Lifeteam, and the United States Army.
Not only do the event visitors get to check out all of the interesting vehicles and equipment on display, but there will be lots of activities for everyone. Hungry and thirsty visitors will be able to purchase some food and refreshments provided by Chick-Fil-A, and Chillz Italian Ice. As with all of our events, Coopertown Police will be accepting donations at our tent to help support our annual Shop-With-A-Cop program, ensuring disadvantaged children receive gifts for the Christmas season.
(Update 9/19/2025 – Kona Ice was originally planning to be at the event, but had to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances)
We would also like to recognize Reeve’s Septic Tank Service for providing outdoor restroom facilities for this event.
