The Griffin Police Department Youth Summer Camp is wrapping up another successful year of learning, leadership, and community engagement.

Throughout the week, campers had the opportunity to build confidence, develop teamwork skills, learn about public safety, and create positive connections with Griffin Police officers and fellow participants. These experiences help young people gain a better understanding of the important role public safety plays in our community.

While the Police Department's camp is coming to a close, the City of Griffin's summer youth programs continue next week with Camp Fire, hosted by Griffin Fire-Rescue. Together with Citizens' Government Academy Junior, these free programs give middle school students a unique opportunity to learn how the City serves residents each day.

Please join us in welcoming Officer Trevor Bagwell to the Griffin Police Department.

Officer Bagwell was officially sworn in today and brings two years of law enforcement experience from the State of Alabama. During the ceremony, he was proudly pinned by his mother, who has faithfully served the City of Griffin for the past 20 years.

β€œIt was an honor to pin a badge on my son to police at the same organization that I have represented and served as a public servant for 20 years,” she shared during the ceremony.

We are excited to have Officer Bagwell join the Griffin Police Department family and look forward to his service to the Griffin community.

Last Friday, the City of Griffin Public Safety Departments were honored to come together with members of our community during Peace Officers Memorial Day and National Police Week to remember Officer Kevin Jordan and Sgt. Todd Thomas.

As part of the ceremony, a Dogwood tree was planted at the Chappell Street Community Green Space in their memory, serving as a lasting symbol of honor, sacrifice, and the continued impact both heroes have on our community.

We are grateful to everyone who attended and helped make this meaningful event possible. Moments like these remind us of the importance of remembering those who gave their lives in service to others and continuing to support the men and women who protect our community each day.
