Police Chief Todd Freind says the money isn’t just for the police department, it’s for the community.
“It means safety for the officers. They’re required to wear it all the time,” Chief Freind said. “Whenever they’re in uniform, on-duty, off-duty whatever the case may be. Whenever they have the uniform on they have to have a vest on.”With the help of the assistant police chief, the two men, along with the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office, are working to protect roughly 6,000 people.“We’re gonna make a difference out here I really believe,” Chief Freind said. “So we’re doing it right.
One of the projects built from the ground up was just completed. The new public safety complex on Lott Road.It’s a project that’s been a year in the making. “This will be part of the new facilities going on in Semmes from here forward that will attract and retain police officers and firefighters in the future,” the chief said.But with the new safety complex and the recent purchase of several new fleet vehicles the chief says they’re ready to serve and protect.
“We have the latest in technology and the latest in the equipment for our police officers to be able to do their jobs, the best that they can, and more efficiently for the citizens out here in Semmes,” Freind said. The chief says they are hiring to fill 16 officer positions so the police department can be at full staff.Download the FOX10 Weather App. Get life-saving severe weather warnings and alerts for your location no matter where you are.
