Sheriff Ron Abernathy was happy to host the Christ Harbor Men’s Group for a great day at the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff’s Office Training Facility.

The group spent time on the range sharpening their skills, experienced our interactive shoot/don’t shoot simulator, and received an inside look at the specialized units that serve our community every day. After all of that, the men's group cooked a meal for everyone.

We appreciate the opportunity to connect with community members and give them a better understanding of the work our deputies do to keep Tuscaloosa County safe. It was truly a great day, and we look forward to future opportunities like this!
