The Crossville Police Department proudly recognizes Hope Preuett and Mackenzie Miller, employees of Business Express, with Commendations for Community Service.
Both Hope Preuett and Mackenzie Miller were presented commendations yesterday at the City of Crossville Police Department, Crossville City Mayor James Mayberry, City Manager Greg Wood, Police Chief Chris Kendrick and Detective Donnie Hammons.

The commendations were awarded for their efforts and assistance in preventing an 88 year old, World War II veteran from being victimized by scammers. Both Hope Preuett and Mackenzie Miller suspected that the gentleman, who was attempting to mail a large amount of cash to an address in New York, may be a victim of a scam. In order to protect the man from the loss, they notified the business owner, Zelma Bennett, who notified police of the incident. Crossville Police Detectives Donnie Hammons and Kevin Wood began an investigation, which led to the recovery of all of the cash and resulted in the gentleman suffering no financial loss to the scammers.
