DRESDEN – The Tennessee Department of Correction’s “Operation Clean Up” continued yesterday at the Dresden Probation Parole field office.  Officers and Special Agents with TDOC, along with officers from the Weakly County Sheriff’s Department, Tennessee Highway Patrol and United States Marshal Service conducted intensive vehicle searches in the parking lot of the field office.  Yesterday’s operation resulted in the search of 44 vehicles.

“It is important that our staff work each day to join with our agency partners and local law enforcement to help make our communities safer and, at the same time, provide resources to the population that we supervise that will assist them to become productive members of our community,” said Nancy Richardson, Director of District 61 Community Supervision. 

Yesterday’s operation resulted in three arrests and the issuance of nine citations.  This operation illustrates TDOC’s commitment to Tennessee communities by ensuring offenders on supervision in west Tennessee are held accountable for their actions.
