“For the last 10 years, we have reduced crime in our city. In the last 3 years, we have had the lowest crime rate in Tennessee in the City of Clarksville,” commented Barrett. “I have been involved in many of these different programs that we’ve done to reduce our crime.”

“I have right at 10 years in investigations with 400 felony arrests. In that, I have right at a 90 percent convention rate. I wish it was 100 percent but a lot of times you cannot get the victims to come to court,” said Barrett.
