La Vergne, Tennessee, is investigating a “network incident” that disrupted some municipal computer systems Friday, Oct. 17, 2025. Officials said the city took affected systems offline, brought in outside cybersecurity experts and notified law enforcement, with the FBI and Tennessee Bureau of Investigation assisting. City Hall closed Friday, but police, fire and water services continued. On Thursday, Oct. 16, the police department’s administrative phone lines were down for about an hour; officials have not said whether the issues are related. Residents were directed to the city website and official social media for verified updates.

La Vergne, a city of about 38,900 in Rutherford County southeast of Nashville, is governed by a Board of Mayor and Aldermen led by Mayor Jason Cole. The local economy leans on logistics and publishing, including Ingram Content Group’s headquarters and several Amazon facilities along the I-24 corridor.
