Clarksville Police Department - CPDClarksville, TN – Opioids have taken over the headlines and are considered an epidemic locally and across the country. But, the Clarksville Police Department and other law enforcement agencies still continue to battle other types of drug usage, even though opioids have taken center stage.

On January 21st, 2019 around 3:10pm, Clarksville Police Officers were called to a Heather Denise Court residence about a possible violation of an order of protection.
