Hello citizens of Morris,

Several communities surrounding the City of Morris have experienced vehicle burglaries within the last week. I wanted to take a few minutes to remind everyone on some things that you can do so that you don’t become a victim. It’s always important to ensure that your vehicles are locked prior to turning in for the night. Never leave any valuables in the vehicle or visible through the windows. If possible, leave any outdoor lighting on throughout the night. Also, if you see any suspicious vehicles or people in your neighborhood, call 911 with a description so that we will know what to look for when we respond. Thanks, and be safe.

I would like to recognize an employee of the Morris Police Department for their outstanding service. Sergeant Chris Thompson exhibits great leadership skills, not only while working with his peers, but also while engaging with the community. Sergeant Thompson was promoted to the rank of Sergeant on January 26, 2026. He brings with him a vast amount of experience from the Birmingham Police Department where he served as a patrol sergeant, task force sergeant, and a supervisor in BPD’s Real Time Crime Center. Please join me in congratulating Chris on his promotion as I know that he will continue to do great work toward our “Commitment to Excellence” at the City of Morris Police Department. Sincerely, Chief Hanks

The Storm Shelter will be opened as a WARMING STATION during this freezing weather. There is a generator so it will be warm!
