The new Crisis Care Center in Jefferson County was unveiled to the public today. Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office joined local and state officials for the grand opening. This new center will be a game changer for not only the state but to our office as deputies encounter individuals experiencing a mental health crisis.

“The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office is fully committed to addressing the very real challenges in the area of mental health care. This is critical, and should not be overlooked, which is why it remains of high importance on my agenda,” said Sheriff Mark Pettway. “I am proud to have been a part of the team that was involved in Jefferson County being awarded the fourth crisis center in Alabama. These centers will go a long way in improving mental health care in our state.”

Forever in our hearts! You will be missed Deputy Chief Charles Buchannon.

With a heavy heart, we announce the passing of K9 Deputy Gunner. Gunner was a valuable member of the Sheriff's Office K9 Unit and was loved by all who met him (except the bad guys). He and his partner, Deputy AJ Brasher saved the lives of those in danger and helped to apprehend those who might cause danger. He was an avid Chic-Fil-A Waffle Fry lover and he never shied away from the camera. Deputy Brasher and the rest of the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office will forever miss Gunner. Rest easy Gunner - we hope there are waffle fries in heaven.

Today, we celebrate the life and accomplishments of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.! Dr. King was instrumental in orchestrating the peaceful, non-violent protests that paved the way for many other Civil Rights Activists in Birmingham.

It is his example that the JCSO follows each day when we serve Jefferson County. We will continue to bridge the gap between law enforcement and the community just as Dr. King would have wanted us to.

Be Weather-Ready: Check the forecast regularly to see if you're at risk for severe weather. Listen to local news or a NOAA Weather Radio to stay informed about severe thunderstorm watches and warnings.

Sign Up for Notifications: Know how your community sends warning. Some communities have outdoor sirens. Others depend on media and smart phones to alert residents to severe storms.

Create a Communications Plan: Have a family plan that includes an emergency meeting place and related information. Pick a safe room in your home such as a basement, storm cellar or an interior room on the lowest floor with no windows.

Practice Your Plan: Conduct a family severe thunderstorm drill regularly so everyone knows what to do if a damaging wind or large hail is approaching. Make sure all members of your family know to go there when severe thunderstorm warnings are issued. Don't forget pets if time allows.

Prepare Your Home : Keep trees and branches trimmed near your house. If you have time before severe weather hits, secure loose objects, close windows and doors, and move any valuable objects inside or under a sturdy structure.

Help Your Neighbor: Encourage your loved ones to prepare for severe thunderstorms.

Today is National Human Trafficking Day.

"Human trafficking is the fastest growing and second largest criminal activity in the world. Alabama’s I-20, I-85, I-10 and I-65 are major corridors for human trafficking. Specifically, I-20 has been identified as the ‘superhighway for human trafficking in the United States.’ These interstates bring significant trafficking activity into Alabama.”

The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office is working hard to address human trafficking in Jefferson County. Here are a few signs to do your part to fight human trafficking.

- Appearing malnourished.
Showing signs of physical injuries and abuse.
- Avoiding eye contact, social interaction, and authority figures/law enforcement.
- Seeming to adhere to scripted or rehearsed responses in social interaction.
- Lacking official identification documents.

For more information call the National Human Trafficking Hotline

We are extremely proud of our accomplishments this year as an office. Take a look at how much we’ve done this year and how excited we are about a brand new year.

12/30/2022

The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office and the Birmingham Police Department are working together to keep you safe.

While we encourage holiday celebrations throughout Birmingham and Jefferson County – Celebratory gun fire is NEVER acceptable.

Celebrating the New Year by firing a weapon into the air is not only irresponsible, it is dangerous. Property damage, injuries and even death are reported across the nation every year on holidays where fireworks are traditionally used. Some people will take celebrating a step further and choose to celebrate by firing a gun into the air. This is incredibly reckless behavior. Please keep in mind that this behavior is not only dangerous, but it is against the law and we are dedicated to taking appropriate action against anyone breaking those laws.

We’re looking forward to serving you! Remember your safety is our top priority.
