The following is from the Crossville Police Department released today:

“The City of Crossville Police Department would like to take a moment to thank the citizens of Crossville and Cumberland County for their compassion, caring and support over the last few months. Service to such a community is always an honor for us, but with recent events and national challenges, it is extremely humbling to have our community, as a whole, standing with us and in support of our common goals.

Times are more difficult than ever, but we have all come together to see our community through this turmoil. We have no doubt that the citizens of Crossville and Cumberland County truly care about our community and it shows every day.

We have been there for each other before these times of crisis and will, no doubt, be here for each other long after. Our commitment to our city is as it ever was, unwavering. Our determination to keep a peaceful and beautiful community, free from violence and danger, is of the utmost importance for all of us. Together we will make it through, to the other side of this turbulent time and we will excel at anything the future holds.

We look forward to our future with optimism and a true belief that we, as a community, can endure, thrive and triumph through anything.

With all of the support that we have received from so many local people and businesses, we couldn’t possibly name each of you individually.

So, we simply say “Thank You” to our community!”
