Knoxville, TN (WOKI) The Knoxville Police Department activated its snow plan Friday afternoon.
“While in the snow plan, Field Operations officers will be paired up in two-person cars to guarantee at least two officers make it to priority calls,“ KPD officials said. ”Supervisors will continue to closely monitor calls for service.”
As for the surrounding area, Knox County officials said Thursday that crews had been pretreating roads ahead of the snow.
“We’ll have folks staged up in their districts with those plows on,” Public Works Senior Director Jim Snowden said Thursday. “We’ll try to get that snow off the road as soon as it comes.”
KPD’s action came as Knoxville Area Transit, the city’s bus operator, announced that drivers would be operating on snow routes. Click here for more information on the slightly altered routes which began running around noon on Friday.
