There was a big turnout for the Clarksville Police Department’s 6th annual Run for C.O.P.S. 5K race in downtown Clarksville. “This is just a chance for the community and the police department to get together and have a good time. It lets us show everyone that we’re just people trying to serve our community,” CPD Captain Scott Thornton said. “This event is in honor of National Law Enforcement Memorial Week. We had 617 officers die in this country last year. This is in tribute to the officers behind the badges. We are recognizing their sacrifice, and keeping up their traditions,“ Thorton continued. “C.O.P.S. stands for Concerns of Police Survivors. All the money that is raised today will be given to that charity, so they can send surviving family members who perished in the line of duty here in Middle Tennessee, to the monument in Washington, D.C.,” he added.
