CPD wins award for Agencies with Between 201-500 Sworn Officers Three Years in a Row (2016)
Clarksville, TN – The Tennessee Highway Safety Office (THSO), the Tennessee Association of Chiefs of Police (TACP), and the Tennessee Sheriffs’ Association (TSA) have joined forces to strengthen and support traffic enforcement nationwide by providing the Law Enforcement Challenge program, an innovative program designed to stimulate traffic law enforcement activities.
The program targets three major traffic safety priorities: occupant protection, impaired driving, and speeding.
The program format allows for agencies to learn from one another and establish goals in traffic safety enforcement and education. Ultimately, the Law Enforcement Challenge is about saving lives and reducing injuries.
After a lengthy application process, the Clarksville Police Department placed 1st in the Tennessee Law Enforcement Challenge for Agencies with between 201-500 Sworn Officers three years in a row.
The Clarksville Police Department also received special category wins for both Speed Awareness and Impaired Driving Awareness.
The Clarksville Police Department is dedicated and committed to continuing its efforts in saving lives and reducing injuries through traffic safety enforcement and by educating its citizens.
