Bell Buckle, TN – Several Williamson County Sheriff’s Office personnel were recognized this week for outstanding work in traffic safety, earning multiple honors at the Tennessee Highway Safety Office (THSO) Middle Tennessee Holiday Network Meeting and awards ceremony held Wednesday, December 10, 2025.
According to the Tennessee Highway Safety Office, the annual event recognizes law enforcement agencies across the region for impactful roadway safety initiatives, enforcement activity, and life-saving measures. Officials said this year’s awards highlight agencies that demonstrated measurable success in reducing dangerous driving behavior during a period when holiday travel typically increases crash risks.
According to the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office, Sergeant Daniel Soto received the THSO Speed Enforcement Award for his work targeting high-risk speeding violations throughout the county. Deputies noted that his enforcement efforts were aimed at curbing dangerous travel corridors and reducing crash potential during peak commute hours.
The agency also reported that Lieutenant Greg Wilhelm accepted the THSO Hands Free Enforcement Award on behalf of a former deputy who focused enforcement on distracted-driving violations. Officials said these efforts resulted in safer travel conditions on major county roadways.
WCSO leadership emphasized that maintaining roadway safety is a priority heading into the busiest travel season of the year. The agency said its traffic enforcement operations will continue through December as holiday congestion increases across Williamson County and the Greater Nashville area.
Residents may expect an increased presence on major routes as deputies work to reduce crashes, identify impaired drivers, and encourage safer travel habits.
