The City of Franklin Police Headquarters facilities has a community room which allows the City and Police Department to host a wide variety of meetings and other community gatherings. Since the Police building opened in 2010, the community room has become very popular. The Police Department receives a large number of requests for the use of the community, which it works to accommodate along with the operational needs of the department. To provide guidance for the appropriate use of the community room, the Police Department working with the Law Department have developed a policy for use of the community. This policy is very similar to the policy employed for the City Hall Boardroom.
