As part of the continued revitalization of Downtown Clarksville, the town recently celebrated the opening of a new police substation at 1400 Main Street, Suite 104. This new space represents a thoughtful step toward supporting growth in one of Southern Indiana’s fastest-developing areas. With more people living, working, and visiting downtown, the need for a stronger public safety presence has become more important than ever.

The substation gives officers a more central location to operate from. It is smaller than the main headquarters, but serves a very specific and valuable purpose. Officers can use the space for writing reports, taking breaks between patrols, and connecting with residents and business owners throughout the day. Having a base like this nearby means officers can stay closer to the neighborhoods they serve, which improves response times and increases overall visibility.

Beyond the day-to-day operations, the substation also plays a key role in building relationships. It offers a place where the community can interact with local law enforcement in a more approachable and informal setting. As Downtown Clarksville continues to grow, the presence of this substation helps ensure that safety, connection, and accessibility remain part of that progress
