Did you know that the local Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD) covers the entire county; over 520 square miles, with a population over 650,000? That population count is only an estimate; it is widely known that Nashville (Top 25 cities in USA) is growing rapidly. That entire geographic area and growing population is managed by approximately 1350 officers. To put it in perspective, Boston, Memphis, and Las Vegas are all similar to the Nashville population and each department has over 2,000 officers.
