🎉 Congratulations, Captain David Bryan Springer! 🎉
The Albemarle Police Department is proud to announce that Captain David Bryan Springer has successfully graduated from the 298th Session of the FBI National Academy in Quantico, Virginia.

The FBI National Academy is one of the most prestigious law enforcement leadership programs in the world, with fewer than one-half of one percent of law enforcement leaders selected to attend. During the intensive 10-week program, Captain Springer completed advanced training in leadership, communication, and fitness while earning a "Yellow Brick" by successfully completing the Academy's challenging 6.1-mile obstacle course.

The 298th Session included law enforcement professionals from 46 states, the District of Columbia, 26 countries, military organizations, and federal agencies—providing an incredible opportunity to learn, collaborate, and build partnerships with leaders from around the world.

Please join us in congratulating Captain Springer on this outstanding accomplishment. We are proud of his dedication to professional excellence and know the knowledge and leadership he gained will continue to benefit the Albemarle Police Department and the community we proudly serve.

Congratulations, Captain Springer! 👏

The children attending Vacation Bible School at First Lutheran Church in Albemarle made a very special delivery to APD officers today! Each student decorated a water bottle and hand-delivered it as a thank you to our community helpers for keeping them safe.
Talk about heart‑melting! Our officers were grinning ear to ear — and the cool drinks definitely didn’t hurt on a warm day. What a refreshing reminder of why we love serving this community! Thank you, First Lutheran Church of Albemarle VBS!🌞💙🚓

Emergency Services Day was a hit at the Pavilion at YMCA Park! 🚓🚒🚑
Stanly County Family YMCA campers had a chance to climb through emergency vehicles, explore equipment, and ask great questions during guided tours.

APD also led an engaging safety talk, and the campers’ excitement and enthusiasm made the entire day unforgettable.

Thank you to the YMCA for inviting us and allowing us to share this experience with such an energetic group of young learners. We’re grateful for every opportunity to connect with our community.

Today, we celebrate the Spring 2026 Basic Law Enforcement Training (BLET) graduates from Stanly Community College. Over the past six months, these dedicated individuals have completed an intensive 880-hour program, demonstrating remarkable perseverance, discipline, and commitment to serving our community.

We are especially excited to share that five of these graduates will be joining the Albemarle Police Department. We look forward to welcoming them to our team and working alongside them to keep our city safe.

Congratulations, graduates! Your hard work has prepared you for the challenges ahead, and your dedication inspires us all. Thank you for stepping up to protect and serve. We are proud of you!

Last week, APD proudly hosted our Junior Police Academy!🚓
This outreach program gives nominated middle school students from our city schools the chance to participate in hands on learning and engage directly with our officers. Our School Resource Officers nominated students who show strong potential and a willingness to learn and grow in a supportive environment.

Throughout the week, students worked together with officers on a mock crime case—reviewing video footage, conducting investigations, preparing arrest reports, and even testifying in a mock trial. In addition to their casework, students had behind the scenes visits with several partner agencies, including the City of Albemarle Fire Department, Stanly County EMS, NC Wildlife Resources Comm, the NC Emergency Training Center , the Stanly County Detention Center, and Stanly County Courts. Each stop gave students a closer look at the many professionals who keep our community safe. Our officers had just as much fun as the students—sharing safety talks, career insights, building teamwork skills, and engaging in fun activities each day.

A huge THANK YOU to our amazing community sponsors-First Bank, Deeter Real Estate, Safe Kids Stanly County, the Stanly County District Attorney’s office, Delights Ramen & Steak, Second Street Sundries, Burleson Square In Albemarle and Sno Biz. Your support makes programs like this possible, and we are so grateful.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to an unforgettable week. We’re so proud of this hardworking and enthusiastic group! They stepped up, challenged themselves, and grew with every activity.👮🏼‍♀️🚔🖤💙
