Community Partnership Officers

Community Partnership Officers

Community Partnership Officers are assigned specifically to one of the Knoxville Police Department’s three Field Operations districts.

The CPOs also lead the department’s problem-solving policing efforts by serving as a point of contact for residents to address the unique problems that impact the neighborhoods within their district.
