A big THANK YOU to Girl Scout Troop 8762 for inviting our officers to their meeting Thursday night! We had a great time spending the evening with such an amazing group of future leaders.

And thank you for the delicious cookies! We can officially confirm they disappeared faster than a speeding ticket.

While Officer Armstrong was out on routine patrols around the Municipal Pier this week, he took a moment to capture some of the cool weather systems moving across Mobile Bay each evening.

Whether it's clear skies or approaching storms, we're always on watch.

We appreciate the Rogers family for the invitation and for allowing our officers to be part of the celebration.
