Clarksville, TN – On March 15th, 2025, four officers from the Clarksville Police Department (CPD) successfully graduated from the nine-week Walters State Regional Law Enforcement Training Academy (RLETA).
Among the graduating class, Officer Nathaniel Elliott stood out by earning the Defensive and Tactical Driving Award, a recognition of his outstanding performance in critical driving techniques.
