Message from the Chief of Police

The Mission Statement of the Prichard Police Department is quite simple: To provide effective Police assistance to the citizens of Prichard of which we swore to serve. While accomplishing this goal, we will strive to reduce crime and take a more proactive approach, thus providing a safe community for economic growth, and increase the quality of life for the citizens of Prichard.

We will continue to work closely with county, state, and federal governmental agencies in order to ensure Prichard remains one of the premiere cities in Alabama. We hold high expectations and standards. We focus on strategies to improve recruiting and retention of officers. I’m proud of our officers, and I’m proud to serve the citizens of this community as your Chief of Police. Together we will make an effective crime fighting team, and continue the legacy of the City of Champions.
