UPDATE!!! The person in the picture has been identified! Thank you!

This past Saturday, the man in the picture decided he would go to a local liquor store and act like he wanted a bottle of Hennessy, but in reality, all he wanted was the store clerk's wallet. He ran out of the store like he was in the 100 meter dash at the Olympics. If you happen to know who this sticky finger bandit is, please give us a call at 251-459-6061. You can remain anonymous. 🍻

What an incredible night !

Our 2026 National Night Out was an overwhelming success, and it was made possible because of each of you! The citizens of Semmes came out in droves to support the Semmes Police Department, Semmes Fire Rescue, and members of the Mobile County Sheriff's Office. The positive interactions between our officers and the community showcased exactly who we are—a department committed not only to protecting our citizens, but also to building trust and lasting relationships.

Thank you Semmes!!

Correction on this law.....

This passed the house, but did not get to the senate before the bill died. This law will not be in effect October 1.

The Semmes Police Department is aware of the off-duty arrest of one of our police officers for allegedly operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. We hold all members of this department to the highest standards of conduct, both on and off duty. This matter is being taken seriously and will be addressed through the appropriate legal and internal administrative processes.
