The Crossville Police Department will be out in force patrolling crowded areas as the city begins to reopen.
“We just want to let people stay cognizant of the fact that just because we’re trying to get back to normal doesn’t mean we are quite there yet,” Public Information Officer Brian Eckelson said. “Keep wearing your masks, keep your hands sanitary, and try to do everything else we’ve done up until now to stay safe.”
Eckleson said the department will focus on shopping centers, parks, and parking lots.
“Your parking lots are going to be full of cars,” Eckleson said. “People will be going into these crowded stores, and a lot of cars may get burglarized or be tempting to thieves walking around the areas.”
Eckleson said he hopes the efforts of the police department helps deter crime and prevent a spike in COVID-19 cases.
