Tompkinsville Chief of Police Channing Cain met with Columbia Chief of Police Evan Burton at the Columbia Police Department earlier this week, to discuss current law enforcement operations, public safety initiatives, and trends each agency is experiencing while on patrol within their respective communities.

Chief Cain and Chief Burton attended the Kentucky Department of Criminal Justice Training together in 2012, where they were classmates and roommates.

“I would like to congratulate Chief Channing Cain on being sworn in as the Chief of Police for the Tompkinsville Police Department.”

“Partnerships between law enforcement agencies are essential to enhancing public safety, sharing ideas, and working together to better serve our communities.”
