Volunteer State Bank is proud to sponsor the Senior Crimestoppers program in Highland Rim Terrace in Portland, TN. This program is a way for an administrator to further enhance the lives of the residents they serve," said Terry Rooker, president of Senior Crimestoppers. "They all work very hard to provide safe, secure, comfortable living environments and their desire to implement the program is just one more example of this. Implementing this program does not mean that the facility currently has a crime problem, but that the administrator is proactively finding a way to keep problems from occurring in the future."
Volunteer State Bank joined the Senior Housing Crime Prevention Foundation (SHCPF), lending financial support to the Senior Crimestoppers program, which helps protect residents at Highland Rim Terrace in Portland.
