The La Vergne Board of Mayor and Aldermen meeting held on June 3, 2025, featured a detailed report from Chief Mays regarding the city's crime statistics and departmental performance. Chief Mays opened his report by expressing satisfaction with the overall positive trends in many areas, noting a significant amount of "green" in the data presented.

However, he highlighted a concerning increase in domestic assaults, emphasizing the challenges law enforcement faces in addressing crimes that occur within homes. Chief Mays also reported a dramatic rise in homicides, which increased by 200% from the previous month, with two incidents recorded. He clarified that one of these was a hit-and-run incident managed by the Tennessee Highway Patrol, while the other involved a shooting that likely originated in Smyrna before crossing into La Vergne.

In addition to the rise in domestic assaults and homicides, Chief Mays pointed out increases in thefts, including vehicle burglaries and motor vehicle thefts. He expressed optimism that the city's Safe Streets Initiative would help mitigate these issues moving forward.

The meeting underscored the ongoing challenges faced by local law enforcement while also highlighting the city's commitment to improving safety through proactive measures.
