The Flomaton Police Department, along with Mayor Arthur Odom, Dispatch Supervisor Tatum Padilla, and Chief of Police Justin Hetrick, stopped by Newman’s today to let the men and women who serve this community day in and day out know just how much we appreciate their service.

These men and women, along with EMS personnel across this nation, serve daily and are sometimes overlooked, but they are always there when citizens need them most. We are grateful for their dedication, sacrifice, and commitment to keeping our communities safe and cared for every single day.

Today, officers with the Flomaton Police Department attended Venomous Snake Safety and Handling Training at the Monroe County Conservation Education Center. The class, instructed by James Stiles and Raymond Corey, focused on the identification of venomous snakes commonly found in Alabama, along with proper safety precautions and handling techniques.

Lt. Staples and Officer Beasley also attended the training… although for some reason they made sure to stay nowhere near the snakes 😂🐍

We appreciate the opportunity to continue training and learning skills that help keep both our officers and community safe.

I would like to take a moment to recognize the men and women who currently serve, those who have retired, and the fallen heroes who stood on the front lines of law enforcement not only here at the Flomaton Police Department, but all across the United States.

Every day, officers put on the badge and make sacrifices to protect and serve their communities. Their dedication, courage, and commitment do not go unnoticed. We are forever grateful to those who continue to answer the call, those who paved the way before us, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.

Please join me in honoring all law enforcement officers past and present. Thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and your unwavering commitment to keeping our communities safe.

We’re grateful for the continued support of the Poarch Creek Indians and their generous donation toward the purchase of updated portable radios for the Flomaton Police Department.

Reliable communication equipment is essential in law enforcement, especially when every second counts. These new radios will help ensure our officers can respond quickly, stay connected, and better serve and protect our community.

Thank you for your commitment to public safety and for investing in the well-being of Flomaton.

The Flomaton Police Department Softball Team truly enjoyed participating in this year’s Brewton Police Department Softball Tournament benefiting “Shop with a Cop.”

It was a great cause, and a lot of fun was had by all. We appreciate the opportunity to come together with fellow agencies and support such an important program.
