CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) The Clarksville Police Union recently held the third annual Cops and Bobbers at Liberty Park’s pond.

There were approximately 50 children between the ages of 4 and 12 who came out and enjoyed an opportunity to fish in the Liberty Park pond.

Each of the children were given a fishing pole, tackle, and bait to try out their fishing skills. Some had never been fishing before, but that didn’t stop them from giving it a try. Each time a fish was hooked, there were big smiles and encouragement from their fellow fishers.

Officers from local law enforcement agencies were on hand to help the novice fishers.
