At the Lake Tansi Police Department we strive to be what Law Enforcement has historically been supposed to be in the United States; a family of public servants that work to make the community a better place by serving with honor and respect.

We believe in treating people with honor and respect in order to provide service to our community that makes them feel safe and secure and creates an atmosphere of trust between the citizens we serve and our officers.

","whyTitle","Why join us?","whySanitized","

Although our department is not the highest paid in the area, there are some really good reasons to work for us.

We are a small department. That means that you won't get lost in the numbers. Each employee is just as important as everyone else. The Chief of Police takes a personal interest in the happiness and wellbeing of each officer.
Being a small department in a small community also means that we have a laid back work environment. We do handle pretty much all kinds of law enforcement calls, but at a slower pace.

Even though our pay is not the highest, we do have some other good benefits..
We have a very liberal time off policy. Most places give two weeks vacation each year. Here you will get the equivalent of three weeks time off after your first year and a months time off each year after your second year.

We also have a good 401k. The company will match your contributions by 75%

We also have insurance available and we provide all uniforms, equipmet and training.

The department has 6 full time officers and 2 commissioned reserve officers. The officers of the department are fully commissioned law enforcement officers. The department is empowered as law enforcement by legislation that is specific to resorts and land management companies.\n\n \n\nThe Lake Tansi Police Department has been in existence in different forms going back to the 1970s. The department originally operated with very few officers as private security with very limited law enforcement power through an agreement with the Cumberland County Sheriff's Department. Under this agreement, the Sheriff granted the officers a Special Deputy card and dictated what police powers they could have. In 1981 Mike Steinmann was appointed as Chief over the Department. Through his leadership, it grew and began to serve a role that was much more than private security. Steinmann soon began to work closely with then Senator Anna Belle O'Brien to pen legislation that was passed into law. This legislation granted departments such as ours that were employed by resorts exemption from the private security laws. This enabled the officers to have more law enforcement power through their Special Deputy status. Steinmann then built the Department into an organization that the Lake Tansi community benefited from greatly. The Department provided most law enforcement for the resort as well as provided security for all Lake Tansi Property Owner's Association property. The Department also provided many extra services from leading Ambulances to residences to keeping watch on homes while the owners were away to assisting people with dead car battery boosts and more. Early in Steinmann's time here he with the help of others lead the way to raise funds to construct the building at 2849 Dunbar Road that now houses the Cumberland County Volunteer Fire Department, Cumberland County Emergency Medical Service as well as this Department. Steinmann Built the Department from it's limited start to a force of seven full time officers as well as several auxiliary officers. He served as Chief until 1994. His contribution has had and will continue to have a positive effect on the people of the Lake Tansi community.\n\n \n\nThere have been four men that have served as Chief since Steinmann and they all have made changes to continue the work that he started. The legal climate in Law Enforcement has steadily changed over the years and liability dictated that a change needed to be made in how departments such as ours were authorized and empowered. In 2006, new legislation was penned and passed that established our department as independent law enforcement. It established the position of “Private Special Deputy” and empowered the Department to provide all law enforcement for the resort. The Department still works closely in cooperation with the Cumberland County Sheriff's Department but no longer works under the Sheriff's supervision. Under the new legislation, the officers all are required to meet all standards and guidelines set forth by the Police Officer Standards and Training Commission. They receive all training required for police officers in the state of Tennessee.\n\n \n\nIn 2018, under new leadership once again, changes were made in the Department name, patrol vehicle markings and the officer's uniforms. These changes were in order to more closely reflect the changes in duty and authority established by the legislation form 2006. The name of the Department was changed from Lake Tansi Security to the Lake Tansi Police Department. New badges were obtained and new insignia and marking were applied to the patrol cars. The new name reflects that the Department is a fully empowered law enforcement agency to protect the community as well enforce all state laws and investigate criminal activity in Lake Tansi. \n\n ","website","http://laketansipd.com","jobs",[],"dashboardUrl","https://dashboard.betterteam.com","actionData","errors"]
