🏆 A Special Thank You to Tony & Leonora Clifford! 🏆

We are incredibly grateful to Tony and Leonora Clifford, who have generously sponsored all of the trophies that will be presented at Cops & Cars!

Tony and Leonora are longtime residents of Williamson County, and both come from families with a proud tradition of service to our community.

Tony served with the Franklin Police Department for 25 years, retiring in 2005 after a distinguished career serving the citizens of Franklin and Williamson County.

Leonora is the daughter of the late John M. Green Jr, who left an incredible legacy of service to Williamson County, especially through his dedication to the Boy Scouts of America.

Tony and Leonora are also both founding members and current board members of the Destin Legieza Foundation, continuing their shared commitment to supporting law enforcement, families, and the Williamson County community.

Their generosity and continued service are another example of what makes Williamson County such a special community.

Thank you, Tony and Leonora, for supporting Cops & Cars and helping us make this year’s event something special! 🚓🏆❤️

Line of Duty Death – Weakley County, TN

The members of the Morris Heithcock Lodge 41 Fraternal Order of Police join the Weakley County Sheriff's Office and the entire law-enforcement community in mourning the tragic loss of Deputy Derrick Bonham, Badge #615, who was killed in the line of duty early Friday morning.

Deputy Bonham was just 37 years old and had proudly served the citizens of Weakley County for nearly two years after graduating from the Tennessee Law Enforcement Training Academy in December 2023. He was known by his peers as a dependable teammate, a dedicated officer, and a man who embodied integrity, compassion, and service.

Beyond the badge, Deputy Bonham was a devoted husband to his wife, Nicole, and a loving father to their three young children—two sons and a daughter, ages 7, 4, and 3. His sacrifice leaves a profound void, and our hearts and prayers are with his family, his fellow deputies, and all who had the honor of serving alongside him.

To support the Bonham family during this unimaginable time, verified donation options have been established. If you are able and willing to help, you may do so using the link below:

https://pbfi.networkforgood.com/projects/295133-derrick-bonham-memorial-fund?

Please note: the only verified funds at this time are the Bonham Memorial at Greenfield Banking Company and the fund established through the Tennessee Police Benevolent Association. Any additional fundraising efforts will be announced only through the official channels of the Weakley County Sheriff’s Office.

We also encourage our law-enforcement partners to participate in the Sea of Blue tribute on Sunday, February 1, 2026, as agencies from across the region come together to honor Deputy Bonham’s life and service.

Sea of Blue Details:
• Date: Sunday, February 1, 2026
• Line-up Time: 5:30 p.m.
• Departure: 6:00 p.m. (prompt)
• Line-up Location: Along Highway 22, directly in front of the Weakley County Sheriff’s Office
• Parking Instructions: Line up in the emergency lane, facing west toward Martin
• Route: Highway 22 → 45E Bypass around Martin → concluding in Greenfield on Front Street

Deputy Derrick Bonham gave his life in service to others. His sacrifice will never be forgotten, and his watch will forever be honored.

Rest easy, brother. We have it from here.
