Juvenile Court Judge Donna Scott Davenport told WGNS News that Operation Integrity offers a full-day, 12-hour intensive training program for at risk youth ages 12 to 16. The program is planned and implemented by the Rutherford County School Resource Officers and sometimes children that go through the juvenile courts are asked to attend the program. SRO Sgt.

Parents are also required to undergo a class while their children are attending Operation Integrity. It is the only program of its type in Tennessee.
