Spring Hill PD, 2025, from the FBI Crime Data Explorer. Spring Hill recorded 2 homicides in 2022, 2 in 2023, none in 2024 and 2 in 2025.

Luke's note: I've had someone root around in my vehicle parked in the driveway once — they were looking for something in the glove box 🤷. That's about it. A lot of neighbors have cameras set up, so if someone does break in, they'll probably get caught. Overall it feels very safe here.

Who Polices Spring Hill

Chief Don Brite leads the Spring Hill Police Department. Every division works out of one building: the 60,000-square-foot headquarters off Port Royal Road, which opened in May 2025. There are no substations. Non-emergency dispatch is (931) 486-2632.

What it means for you: inside city limits, call Spring Hill PD. If you live outside city limits, the sheriff of your county answers the call: Williamson on the north side, Maury on the south side. For an emergency, dial 911 either way.

On I-65 and state highways, the Tennessee Highway Patrol also works crashes. Williamson County falls under its Nashville district and Maury County under its Lawrenceburg district. On a cell phone, dial *847 for highway emergencies.

The city's FY2025 staffing plan authorized 84 police positions, including 46 patrol officers. The FY2027 plan adds one police officer, one CID sergeant and one records clerk.

The department also runs license-plate cameras around town. Here's how Spring Hill ended up with Flock cameras, and where they are.
