Six years ago Trion City Schools Superintendent Dr. Phil Williams began a conversation with key partners in the community to build a police station on the school campus.

Dr. Williams said that he felt the need to provide a safer environment for the students, staff and faculty after watching so many tragedies, such as Columbine and Sandy Hook, unfold.
Working with then Senator Jeff Mullis, the Northwest Georgia JDA, the Trion Town Council and Mayor, the Trion City School Board and the Chief of Police David Gilleland, that vision is now a reality.
Following the Ribbon Cutting held Monday evening, Dr Williams handed the key to the new Trion Police Station to Trion Police Chief Gilleland, and then the Town dedicated a campus street as Dr. Phil Williams Drive.
