NATIONAL NIGHT OUT

Story & Photography by Tony Centonze The Clarksville Police Department recently invited the public to its annual National Night Out, held once again in the parking lot of APSU’s Fortera Stadium.

The event is a community-building campaign that promotes policecommunity partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie, which makes neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live.

Several local agencies were on site displaying equipment and providing demonstrations. The free event included bounce houses, hamburgers and hot dogs, giveaways, haircuts, and more.

“Our goal is to engage and interact with the community, so they’ll learn that we are people just like them,” CPD Captain Chad Koyama said. “Through mutual understanding and partnership we’ll leave Clarksville better than we found it.” MCSO Assistant Deputy Chief Joe Thomas & Lyle Whitted
