Our Leaders
Board of Directors
The Mt. Juliet Police Foundation is led by a dedicated group of community leaders, business owners, current and prior law enforcement, and residents who share a common goal: supporting law enforcement personnel of the Mt. Juliet Police Department.
Our Board of Directors serves on a volunteer basis and is committed to ensuring that the Foundation operates with integrity, transparency, and a clear focus on enhancing the safety and well-being of the Mt. Juliet community.
Through strategic planning, fundraising initiatives, and community partnerships, the board works to identify opportunities where the Foundation can make the greatest impact in supporting officer wellness, community programs, and public safety initiatives.
Together, our board members represent the spirit of Mt. Juliet, a community well known for standing behind those who protect and serve.
