What happens while cities sleep? Police officer gives up-close look at midnight shift
NASHVILLE, TN (WSMV) Many in Middle Tennessee are in bed or getting ready to go to bed by 10:30 p.m., but not Officer Brenna Hosey and other Metro Nashville Police officers who work the midnight shift.
“People are fascinated, honestly, by people that work the midnight shift and how we do it. They ask, ‘How do you do that? Aren’t you tired? How do you sleep during the daytime?’ I’m like room darkening curtains are a miracle,” Hosey said.
Hosey has been on the midnight shift for three years and said she enjoys her unconventional work schedule.

Fleischmann told FNC’s “Fox & Friends” that the members of the Nashville Metro Police Department “ought to be praised and lauded” both locally and nationally for their efforts to save lives on Christmas. He stressed that their work is why it is important to support law enforcement.
