We are proud to partner with Clinton City schools, Anderson County schools, and the Anderson County Sheriff's Office to be a part of the L.E.A.D. (Law Enforcement Against Drugs) program! L.E.A.D. is an educational program taught in schools that utilizes evidence based anti-drug and violence curriculum. It develops a framework of social and emotional skills that promote positive, pro social attitudes and behavior. The program fosters resistance to substance abuse and conflicts by providing real life scenarios to resist peer pressure and negative influences. Officer Kristopher Miville is the L.E.A.D. officer for Clinton City Schools. He brings genuine care, integrity, and a strong belief in our youth. His efforts are instrumental in building trust and promoting a safe, healthy future for our community. Officer Miville is pictured with his most recent graduates from the program. Lieutenant Scott Gregory attended the L.E.A.D. camp with CPD's crime scene response vehicle. He demonstrated several crime scene processing techniques for students. Sergeant Matthew Howell also attended L.E.A.D. camp with his K9 partner "Tonto". He demonstrated Tonto's abilities to students and even let them get a hug from Tonto afterwards. Partnerships such as this is what makes our community strong, safe, and the best place to live and work in East TN! #ServiceBeforeSelf

MEMORIAL DAY We honor the brave men and women who serve and have served with the United States Armed Forces. Thank you!

The operation utilized a 20-year-old undercover individual who appeared under the age of 30, in accordance with T.C.A. 39-17-1504, which prohibits the sale of tobacco and vaping products to persons under 21 and requires age verification for anyone appearing under 30. VIOLATIONS IDENTIFED Incident #1: Tobacco & Vape Location: 1115 N. Charles Seivers Blvd., Suite 8, Clinton, TN 37716 The undercover individual purchased a Blue Razz Ice Geek Bar vaping device for $19.99 without being asked for identification by the clerk completing the sale.
