It is with a sad heart that we once again ask you to join us in prayer, because another brother in blue has passed away too soon. Please remember the family of Sergeant Barry Bunch and the officers of the Oak Ridge Police Department as they mourn another loss of a beloved law enforcement officer. Barry worked for Clinton P.D. for a while and was highly respected as an officer and trainer. You will truly be missed and never forgotten Sergeant Bunch.

The Clinton Police and Fire Departments joined together to spread some Christmas cheer to 26 deserving kiddos during our first annual "Shop with a Hero" event at the Clinton Walmart. Each child was paired with a police officer or firefighter who personally escorted them around the store as they shopped for Christmas gifts. As public servants, it is such a privilege to have the opportunity to bless these families and participate in sharing the spirit of giving. This terrific event would not be possible without the support of our amazing citizens and businesses in the City of Clinton! Special thanks goes to: Walmart (Clinton), Taylor Plumbing, Powder Cote II, WB Electric, Cannon & Cannon, Scott Laska (SL TN), Fox Toyota, Stephenson Auction & Realty, ACE Hardware, Scott Burton, and several City of Clinton employees who contributed.

Congratulations to Officer Dustin Campbell for obtaining a Drug Recognition Expert certification! This certification is one of the most challenging in law enforcement to obtain.
Officers trained as Drug Recognition Experts (DREs) are frequently called upon to differentiate between drug influence and medical and/or mental disorders and is an extremely valuable tool in combating the adverse impact of drug and alcohol-impaired driving in our communities.
DRE School is extremely demanding. To receive certification as a DRE, three phases of training must be completed: Drug Recognition Expert Pre-School (16 hours) Drug Recognition Expert DRE School (56 hours) Drug Recognition Expert Field Certification (approximately 40-60 hours.) This certification is a valuable tool to further assist in the safety of the citizens of Clinton. Great job Officer Campbell!

This guy decided to show up at this year's Clinton Christmas Parade and immediately caused a problem. Clinton Police Officer Nathan Allen informed him he would not "steal Christmas" on his watch.
The Clinton Police Department would like to say thank you to the CPD Officers who volunteered their Saturday to set up and then take down the route for the 2024 Clinton Christmas Parade. Their effort and goal was to make your parade experience as enjoyable and safe as possible.

SCAM ALERT!!
Please be aware of current fraudulent phone call attempts where unknown persons are portraying themselves as Clinton Police Officers and advising that there is an outstanding warrant (or bench warrant) for your arrest. Scam callers are directing persons they call to send money to satisfy a fee/cost for dismissal of the arrest warrant.
The Clinton Police Department and most other law enforcement agencies will not call you with this type of request. If you are concerned that someone is attempting to scam you in this manner, please call the Clinton Police Department at 865-457-3112 to verify the authenticity of the request.
