Thank you to our friends at the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of AL and the FBI for visiting the James P. Nix Senior Center to talk about scams targeting older adults. Fraud can affect anyone. Stay alert, talk with your friends and family about common scams.

Christopher Allen Bentley, 47, of Summerdale was arrested this afternoon after allegedly calling a Fairhope business and threatening to shoot everyone inside. Smith was charged with Making a Terroristic Threat and will be transported to the Baldwin County Corrections facility.

We had a great time visiting the preschoolers at Jubilee Shores WeeSchool this morning. The kids got to meet police officers, firefighters, and medical personnel. A surprise landing by a medical helicopter crew was a big hit too. Thank you for inviting us!

⚠️ Pine Straw Scammers are Back If you notice a group going door-to-door selling pine straw, call us so that we can talk to them. Or if you suspect you are being scammed, call before you pay.

This past week, Lt. Damian Rehorn led our monthly Coffee with a Cop at the James P. Nix Senior Center. These gatherings give us a chance to have meaningful conversations with members of our community.

We are proud to announce Sgt. Ward Faust as our Officer of the Quarter and Tracey Creel as our Civilian of the Quarter.

The first of today’s 9/11 remembrances began before sunrise with a tribute stair climb at St. Michael Catholic High School. The climb honored the first responders who climbed the stairwells of the World Trade Center to rescue others.

Please join us Friday morning as we gather to remember those who lost their lives and honor those who answered the call to serve on September 11, 2001. We hope you will join us as we pause together, 25 years later, to remember and reflect.

Please join us for a brief ceremony and prayer as we remember those we lost, and honor the heroes of September 11. We will gather in front of the Police Department on Friday, September 11, at 9:00 a.m.

Every year, the folks at Street’s Exquisite Plants & Aquatic Gardens fire up the grill and host an incredible cookout for local first responders. We’re grateful for their hospitality and support. Thank you, friends!

Please join us in welcoming Julie Joyner back to the Fairhope Police Department! After retiring from law enforcement, Joyner has returned to serve as the new School Resource Officer at Fairhope Middle School. We’re so happy to have her back!

Our School Resource Officers are wrapping up the last day of their annual four-day camp with local students. This camp not only offers learning opportunities, fitness activities, and fun but also fosters a positive relationship between the officers and the community.
