🚓OUTSTANDING POLICE WORK | CHILD SAFELY RECOVERED 🚔

The Bessemer Police Department would like to recognize our Officers and the other officers involved in the safe recovery of a 13-year-old juvenile following a multi-agency response on September 1, 2026.

After receiving a BOLO from the Moody Police Department regarding a reported child abduction and a suspect vehicle believed to be traveling westbound, our officers immediately positioned themselves along the interstate to watch for the vehicle.

Through vigilance, communication, and excellent police work, our officers spotted the suspect vehicle traveling westbound on I-20/59. Officers were able to safely stop the vehicle near Mile Marker 103, take the driver into custody, and secure the juvenile without incident.

The investigation revealed circumstances that made the juvenile’s safe recovery even more critical. What initially appeared to be a runaway situation involved an adult the juvenile had reportedly recently met through social media. Information obtained during the investigation also raised serious concerns regarding the adult and possible human-trafficking activity.

We also commend Detective of the Moody Police Department, whose investigative work utilizing Flock camera technology helped identify the suspect vehicle from an initially provided photograph.

This incident demonstrates exactly why communication and cooperation among local, state, and federal law-enforcement agencies matter. Because officers acted quickly and worked together, a 13-year-old child was safely recovered before this situation could potentially become much worse.

Excellent work, our Officers and all officers and agencies involved. Your alertness, professionalism, and commitment to protecting our children made a difference.

👏🏾 Job well done!
