Beginning today September 1, 2022 Knoxville Police will not respond to non injury wrecks by order of Chief Paul Noel.
TN State Law states here any accident with more than $1,500 damage must be reported to the State. So, are the drivers suppose to decide if it $1,500 on the scene? Who writes the report and sends it to state Department of Safety?
Also TN state law in the next section of the law mentions here about law enforcement reports.
One of my sources have told me that a Shelby County Sheriff was removed from his position for refusing to respond to crimes in Memphis (which is in Shelby County) So my suggestion, if you have an accident call the Knox County Sheriffs Office or TN Highway Patrol to come to the scene and complete an accident report, insurance companies and companies that have company vehicles involved in accidents require it.
