Join Kosta and his guest Cookeville Police Department’s Sergeant Charlotte Austin.
In this episode: You lead Cookeville Police Department’s Community Services Program with a dedicated mission to unify law enforcement and the public. Most people would rather get a root canal than hang out with on-duty police officers for fun, so how do you effectively bring everyone together to make meaningful progress towards this goal? In 2015 you joined CPD as a part-time dispatcher. Two years later, you became a certified officer and quickly rose through the ranks, first as a Field Training Officer, then as a Detective, and most recently, as Sergeant in March 2024. For those of us who are blissfully unaware of how the ranks of law enforcement works, will you tell us about each of these positions? You teach LEAD the next evolution of DARE to 4th graders across Putnam County. What’s a lesson from the 4th grade classroom you think everyone could benefit from hearing?
