Fi****ms Week is a wrap in the Childersburg Citizen's Academy!
After some classroom education and familiarization with fi****ms safety, range rules, and fi****ms fundamentals/fi****ms functions, the weather was gracious enough for us to go implement the knowledge at the Coosa Valley F.O.P. Range #008.
We are proud of and grateful for our citizens and elected city leadership for attending and we were impressed with the accuracy and seriousness in which these basic fundamentals and safety considerations were handled by our attendees!
After finishing up and fielding some questions regarding basic home defense considerations, we had an unexpected visitor! 😬

Week 4 of the Childersburg Citizen Police Academy focused on fingerprints, fingerprinting, and the history behind this important investigative tool! 🔍👮

Participants learned how fingerprints are collected, analyzed, and used in criminal investigations, while also exploring the history of fingerprint identification and how it has evolved over the years into one of the most reliable methods of identifying individuals.

Our officers enjoyed providing a hands-on learning experience and sharing real-world insight into how fingerprint evidence helps solve crimes and support investigations every day.

We appreciate everyone who continues to attend and engage each week. Building stronger connections with our community through education and transparency is what this program is all about!

Stay tuned for more highlights from our Citizen Police Academy classes.

The Childersburg Police Department greatly appreciates everyone who helped make it possible for our agency to receive 4 new Preliminary Breath Test (PBT) Intoxilyzer units through the Impaired Driving Grant program.

This funding is made possible through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and administered in Alabama through the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs (ADECA).

These new PBT devices will serve as a further tool to assist our officers on patrol to strengthen the ability to identify impaired drivers and improve roadway safety throughout our community and get impaired drivers off the road!

Safer roadways is a safer Childersburg!
