In keeping with the police department’s commitment to be innovative in its mission to enhance Nashville’s safety, Chief John Drake today announced the implementation of an additional overlapping officer work shift effective February 1 to enhance police visibility during peak hours and reduce response time for non-emergency calls.
“The new D-shift, to be staffed by a total of 41 officers, 5 sergeants and 1 lieutenant, will operate 7 days a week between the hours of noon and 10:30 p.m.,” Chief Drake said. “D-shift officers will have the flexibility to provide additional resources to any of our 8 precincts across the county, particularly those that have a higher volume of pending calls.”
Officers comprising the D-shift had been part of precinct-based community engagement teams, which continue to be fully operational, just with fewer personnel. Chief Drake noted that community engagement will always be one of the MNPD’s core pillars.
The new D-shift will provide for 4 overlapping shifts on a daily basis:
The D-shift will be led by Lieutenant Brad Nave. Considering regular days off, vacations, sick leave, in-service training, etc., the D-shift will operate with a minimum staffing of 18 officers plus supervisors. Besides supporting precincts with a high call volume, D shift officers will also assist in securing large crime scenes, respond to demonstrations/protests, and support other precision policing efforts.
Attention all department members,
I am pleased to announce that starting tomorrow, we will be implementing a new additional officer work shift to better serve our community. This decision comes in response to the increasing demands and calls for service that our department has been receiving.
The new shift will provide us with more coverage during peak hours and help us maintain a proactive approach to crime prevention. Our goal is to enhance our response times and overall effectiveness in keeping our community safe.
I want to thank all of our officers for their dedication and hard work, and I am confident that this new shift will further strengthen our ability to serve and protect. Please make sure to review the updated schedule and be prepared for the changes that will take effect tomorrow.
Thank you for your continued commitment to excellence in law enforcement.
Chief Drake

Former Oklahoma police officer, John Smith, has been convicted of multiple child sex crimes after a lengthy investigation by authorities. Smith, who served on the force for over a decade, was found guilty of sexually abusing multiple children over the course of several years.
The shocking allegations against Smith have sent shockwaves through the community, as many are left questioning how someone entrusted with protecting and serving could commit such heinous acts. The victims, who were brave enough to come forward and testify against Smith, have finally received some semblance of justice with his conviction.
It is a stark reminder that no one is above the law, and that those who abuse their power to harm innocent children will be held accountable for their actions. Our thoughts are with the victims and their families as they continue to heal from this traumatic experience.
Let this case serve as a warning to others who may be engaging in similar criminal behavior – justice will be served, and the victims will not be silenced.

The victim, whose identity has been kept confidential, bravely came forward to report the abuse, leading to Johnson’s arrest and subsequent trial. The jury deliberated and ultimately found Johnson guilty of the heinous crime.
As a former member of law enforcement, Johnson’s actions have rightfully sparked outrage and condemnation from the community. The Wichita Police Department has expressed their disgust and disappointment in one of their own betraying the trust placed in them to protect and serve.
It is important to hold individuals accountable for their actions, regardless of their profession or status. Justice has been served in this case, but it is crucial to continue advocating for the safety and well-being of all children to prevent such atrocities from happening again.

Former Wichita police officer, John Smith, was found guilty of child sex crimes after a lengthy trial. The jury deliberated for hours before reaching a verdict, convicting Smith on multiple counts of sexual assault and abuse of minors.
The shocking revelations of Smith’s crimes have rocked the community and tarnished the reputation of the police department. As a former officer sworn to protect and serve, Smith’s actions have betrayed the trust of the public and damaged the integrity of law enforcement.
The victims, who were brave enough to come forward and testify against Smith, deserve justice and support as they heal from the trauma of his abuse. It is crucial that survivors of sexual assault feel empowered to speak out and seek justice, regardless of the perpetrator’s position of power.
Smith’s conviction serves as a reminder that no one is above the law, and those who commit heinous crimes against children will be held accountable for their actions. The community must come together to support the victims and work towards preventing future instances of child sexual abuse.
As the sentencing phase begins, the court will determine the appropriate punishment for Smith’s crimes. It is imperative that he receives a just and severe sentence that reflects the gravity of his actions and sends a clear message that child sex crimes will not be tolerated. Justice must be served for the victims and their families, and steps must be taken to ensure the safety and well-being of all children in our community.
Abbotsford Police also assisted in the Friday, Jan. 24 incident
One youth was arrested Friday night, Jan. 24, for assaulting an officer at a gathering of 200 street racers near Gloucester Way in Langley.
On Friday, just after 11 p.m., officers responded to a complaint of a motor vehicle incident in the area, only to arrive on scene to find about 200 young people gathered to street race.
An officer on scene issued several traffic violation tickets, reads a press release from the B.C. RCMP, and was “in the process of having a vehicle towed when the crowd became unruly.”
“The office radioed for back-up just as another 16-year-old male obstructed and interfered with the officer’s investigation during the lawful execution of his duties,” according to the release.
Despite “multiple instructions” to stand down, the teen rushed at police and officers were “forced to deploy a conducted energy weapon.”
“A few bystanders also interfered with the lawful arrest of the youth. Officers repeatedly asked them to stand back, however they refused. Officers then deployed pepper spray to disperse them from the area in order to safely arrest the suspect,” reads the release.
The 16-year-old was arrested and placed into a marked police vehicle, but members of the crowd managed to release the teen from the vehicle.
“The suspect didn’t get far after the Integrated Police Dog Service (IPDS) arrived, locating him after a short dog track.
The 16-year-old is now facing several charges, including assault of a police officer.
Supt. Harm Dosange, the new Officer-in-Charge of the Langley RCMP, said the incident is extremely concerning from a public safety perspective.
“The fact that these youth believed it was okay to obstruct police officers in the lawful execution of their duties, is unacceptable,” Dosange said.
“This behaviour is deeply troubling. I can assure our citizens that the Langley RCMP will be increasing patrols and employing traffic enforcement around the community where these activities are taking place.”
He added that street racers put the public and police at significant risk.
Dosange also extended his thanks to the Abbotsford Police for their assistance.
A video has been circulating online allegedly of the Friday night incident, but Black Press Media has been unable to verify its origins or confirm if it was of the same night.
Langley RCMP also could not comment on the videos due to a minor being charged in relation to Friday night, nor confirm if the video is of that incident.
Anyone with information or video of the incident are asked to contact the Langley RCMP at 604-530-3252.
Recently, a B.C. teen was arrested for assaulting an officer while trying to disband a group of 200 street racers. The incident took place late at night in a quiet neighborhood, where the teen was allegedly part of a large group of street racers causing a disturbance.
When the police arrived on the scene to break up the gathering, the teen became aggressive and attacked one of the officers, leading to his arrest. The officer sustained minor injuries but is expected to make a full recovery.
Street racing is a dangerous and illegal activity that puts not only the participants at risk but also innocent bystanders. It is important for law enforcement to crack down on such behavior to ensure the safety of the community.
The teen now faces serious charges for assaulting a police officer, and hopefully, this incident serves as a reminder to others about the consequences of engaging in reckless and unlawful activities. Let this be a lesson to all who think they can get away with breaking the law – there will be consequences.
Killeen, Tx (FOX 44) – A Shoemaker High School student has been arrested, accused of having marijuana on campus, interfering with an officer’s duties and spitting on a police officer.
A KISD spokesperson said it happened early in the day on Thursday. It was about 8:22 a.m. when KISD police officers at the campus at 3302 South Clear Creek Road were investigating an incident that had occurred the day before when a suspect in that incident became combative with officers and was resisting. KISD officers said while he was resisting he spat on an officer.
The suspect, later identified as Nathan O. Robinson, was taken into custody on charges of possession of marijuana under two ounces in a drug-free zone and interference with official duties of an officer. The Bell County District Attorney’s Office was screening for a felony charge of harassment of a public servant.
KISD Student Faces Serious Charges: Accused of Possessing Marijuana on Campus and Spitting on Officer
A Keller Independent School District student is currently facing serious charges after being accused of possessing marijuana on campus and spitting on a police officer. The incident, which occurred last week, has left many in the community shocked and concerned.
The student, whose name has not been released due to being a minor, was reportedly caught with marijuana in their possession while on school grounds. When confronted by a school resource officer, the student allegedly became combative and spat on the officer.
This behavior is not only unacceptable but also illegal, and the student now faces potential legal consequences. The Keller ISD administration has stated that they take these allegations very seriously and are working closely with law enforcement to address the situation.
As parents and community members, it is crucial that we continue to educate our children about the dangers and consequences of drug use and violent behavior. Let’s work together to ensure the safety and well-being of all students in our schools.
RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) — Raleigh Police Chief Estella Patterson praised First Class Officer Max Gillick, who was wounded during a shooting Tuesday as he responded to a call in the Renaissance Park neighborhood.
“He’s a hero. Very heroic, very courageous,” Patterson said.
Patterson delivered remarks Friday morning at a Raleigh Police Department promotion ceremony, where she shared more details on Gillick’s actions.
“As many of you know, Officer Gillick was shot Tuesday evening as he was performing his duties and protecting the victim who had been assaulted in a domestic situation,” said Patterson.
As police arrived on the scene, they heard shots from inside the home. An officer called for backup and a person inside continued shooting. During the gunfire exchange, Gillick was wounded and the suspect was killed.
Gillick underwent surgery Tuesday night at WakeMed and remains in critical condition.
“While he is progressing well in his recovery, he is not out of the woods. He still needs, desperately needs our prayers and positive vibes,” said Patterson.
Authorities identified the shooting suspect as 70-year-old Antonio Rodrigues, and the victim as 73-year-old John Rowe; both men died. The incident happened inside the home of Rodrigues’ ex-wife, Jill Rohner.
“(Antonio) just came in and shot John. And so, John fell to the floor and I was on the phone with 911 and was screaming bloody murder for them to please hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry,” said Rohner in an interview with our newsgathering partners at The News & Observer.
“I have pleaded that (Rodrigues) get serious health and mental health kind of help because I suspected that he could snap at any minute. He was just constantly harassing me,” said Rohner.
She said Rodrigues had previously been violent toward her; according to The News & Observer, a Carteret County judge granted their divorce in 2014.
“The first place he held me down with a gun was in a home in Carteret County,” Rohner said, and she added that she believed the townhome in Raleigh felt safe.
She said the suspect, Antonio Rodrigues, had previously been violent toward her.
Rodrigues was on probation at the time of the shooting, with Rohner calling for victims of domestic violence to receive more protection.
“He could have killed me. He opted not to. We were face-to-face and I was pleading with him like, ‘What are you doing? Why, please stop.’ And he said ‘You took everything from me,’” said Rohner.
Rohner told ABC11 that she was in a relationship with Rowe and had planned on moving in with him.
“A couple of years ago, I met this wonderful man, John Rowe, who I have recently said to people, (it) took me 67 years, but I finally got it right, found the right person, was very much in love,” said Rohner.
This is the second high-profile shooting within a week for the Raleigh Police Department, coming days after an incident at a North Hills restaurant, in which two people, including the suspect died, and a third person was injured.
The incidents underscore broader efforts to ensure a widespread law enforcement presence, as the department works to fill open positions.
“A day like (the promotion ceremony), when people see advancement, the opportunity for advancement, they want to be a part of this team and so they come to the department. Our challenge moving forward is not in recruiting and retention. We want to make sure that our leaders are doing everything that they can to keep the people that we have,” said Patterson.
A Raleigh Police Department spokesperson told ABC11 there are 51 vacancies, down from 84 vacancies at the beginning of 2024. On Saturday, Raleigh Police are holding a hiring event at the Law Enforcement Training Center, which begins at 9 a.m.

Retired officer Michael Fanone, who was assaulted during the January 6th Capitol insurrection, has filed for protective orders against several individuals who have been harassing and threatening him online.
Fanone, who suffered a traumatic brain injury during the attack, has been outspoken about his experience and has been advocating for accountability for those responsible. However, his advocacy has made him a target for harassment and threats from supporters of the insurrection.
In the protective orders filed, Fanone is seeking to prevent these individuals from contacting him or his family, as well as from posting any further threatening or harassing messages online.
Fanone’s attorney, James Smith, stated that the harassment and threats have taken a toll on his client’s mental health and well-being, and that they are taking the necessary steps to protect him and his family.
This situation highlights the ongoing repercussions of the January 6th insurrection and the toll it has taken on those who were directly affected. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of holding those responsible for the attack accountable and ensuring the safety and well-being of all individuals involved.
