Meet a cop: Jackson officer followed family into law enforcement
- Twenty-Four-Year-Old Tenney became a sworn patrol officer in Jackson County in May 2024 and was interviewed ahead of National Police Week.
- Tenney chose law enforcement partly due to family members serving in Robertson County, Tennessee, whom Tenney has long admired and followed into the field.
- Tenney said the favorite part of the job is interacting with people, including helping them on their worst days, and emphasized that police are regular people approachable by the public.
- National Police Week, observed from May 11 to 17, includes memorial events such as Jackson’s annual Law Enforcement Memorial and legislative actions led by House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, who supports law enforcement through bills and public events.
- Emmer highlighted law enforcement’s daily risks and dedication, aiming to empower officers through legislation and an executive order to ensure safe communities and proper support for police.
