Today we conducted our most extensive and exhaustive search so far for Mr. Frank Stevenson. Beginning at day-break this morning, 80 searchers methodically covered an expanded search area, again, without success. The terrain and conditions continue to be a major challenge. Several hundred acres have now been covered with no signs of Mr. Stevenson. Our efforts were led again by game wardens with the Alabama Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Division. Also assisting today were agents with the State Bureau of Investigation, Alabama Forestry Commission, Alabama Department of Corrections officers, Perry County Sheriff's Department, Hoover Fire Department and Hoover Public Works Department.

04/23/2020

We can't thank our Alabama Game Warden's enough for their guidance and leadership during our search efforts. They are serving as team leaders and are truly the subject matter experts when it involves an operation such as this. They too, are committed to finding Mr. Stevenson.

For the past two days, Officers from our District 3 have joined in the search in Perry County for a missing person from Hoover. Involved in the search were personnel from the Attorney General’s office, Hoover PD, Hoover Public Works, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency and State Bureau of Investigation, the State Fire Marshall’s Office, and Perry County Sheriff’s Office.

Game Wardens are trained in Rural Operations, which focuses on situations such as this while cooperating with partner agencies for the benefit of the citizens of Alabama. We hope and pray for a positive outcome in Perry County.

UPDATE: WEDNESDAY, APRIL 22nd 8:00 PM

The ongoing search search for Mr. Stevenson has concluded for the day, without success. 45 searchers from multiple departments participated today, along with employees from City of Hoover Public Works and Park and Recreation Departments. These men and women are giving their best effort in very unfavorable conditions. Searchers are having to deal with standing water, mud, briars, underbrush, snakes, insects and uneven terrain. Anticipated severe weather and more rain will likely hamper our efforts tomorrow. The search will resume as soon as conditions allow. We remain committed to finding Mr. Stevenson.

UPDATE: TUESDAY, APRIL 21st 4:15 P.M.

Late yesterday afternoon Mr. Stevenson's car was located on a logging road in Perry County Alabama, near Marion. An individual riding a 4-wheeler on hunting land saw the vehicle and notified authorities. Numerous officers with the Hoover Police Department began searching the area for Mr. Stevenson yesterday, and they have continued that search today. Several agencies are assisting, including the Perry County Sheriff's Office, ALEA, Bibb County prison officers and others. The ALEA air unit has assisted, along with drone operators from HPD. Tracking dogs from Bibb prison and other agencies have also assisted. So far there have been no signs of Mr. Stevenson, but the search will continue. Although it cannot be ruled out, there are no obvious signs of foul play thus far. The search area terrain is difficult, wet, and encompasses thousands of acres. We ask everyone to please keep the searchers and especially Mr. Stevenson's family and friends in their thoughts and prayers.

MISSING PERSON / ENDANGERED

The Hoover Police Department continues to ask for the public’s assistance in locating Mr. Frank Morgan Stevenson. He was last seen on Tuesday, April 14th when he left his residence on Golf Drive in Bluff Park to drive to a credit union in Riverchase. He did not make it to his destination and has not been seen since. He was driving a gold, 2008 Toyota Camry, Alabama tag number 6211AW9.
Mr. Stevenson suffers from dementia and other health problems and may have become disoriented. He did not have his cell phone in his possession and only had a small amount of cash. We believe he was carrying a wallet with identification, but had no credit cards. His daily medications were also left at his residence.
Due to the length of time since his disappearance, we have grave concerns about his health and well-being. We are asking for assistance from citizens and neighboring law enforcement agencies in locating Mr. Stevenson or his vehicle. If located, please call 911 or the Hoover Police Department at 205-822-5300.

Always good to stay informed on scams that might be in our area!

Here's one being reported by Shelby County Sheriff's Office

Like we've said before...Be a #HangUpHero!!

#hooverpd

PLEASE DON’T FALL VICTIM TO THIS!

The Shelby County Sheriff’s Office has been notified that scam phone calls are currently going on. The person claims to work for the Sheriff’s Office and may allege that you have warrants, unpaid tickets, or outstanding fees. They will then ask for some sort of payment over the phone. These scammers can be very aggressive and convincing. They can easily “spoof” their phone number to appear to be calling from a real government agency.

The Shelby County Sheriff’s Office will never contact you to collect payment or threaten you with legal action. Hang up on these scammers and never send any sort of payment. If you are ever unsure if the caller works for the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office, you can always hang up and call us back at (205) 669-4181.

SRO uses social media to paint, and connect

Time at home. Time away from your students and the school staff that you love. Painting. Personal therapy. Staying connected. Social media.

It has all the ingredients of Hoover Police Officer and School Resource Officer Jennifer Harrelson’s “new normal”. She has a page called Crafting Therapy Gifts, dedicated to helping others create works of art. She is able to connect with not only some of her students in a unique way, but also with people from around the world.

She is not a “professional painter”, a certified teacher or instructor, and she gives that disclaimer before each Facebook live session.

“I always give the disclaimer that I'm not a teacher or an artist but a person who likes to paint and want to share it with others. It is 100 percent free. I tell people they don't have to have fancy art supplies but basic paints and brushes. They can paint on wood or cardboard if they don't have canvas. I have been able to share my supplies with people who are local so there is no need for them to leave home. I have enjoyed it and the response has been wonderful.”

“I miss my RC3 (Riverchase Career Connection Center) terribly, so this is a way that we can all stay connected and get through this together."

Oliver’s birthday parade What a bummer; turning 3 and stuck at home with no big birthday party because of social distancing. So, when we found out that Oliver was “obsessed with police cars and fire trucks”, well, we just had to help him out. Originally, we said that we’d try to send a car by so he could see the blue lights and hear the siren. But, Day Shift came through, and went above and beyond: a parade of police Tahoes and motorcycles! “Our family can’t thank you and your officers enough for coming by today. He has talked about it all day and to every one!” – Oliver’s mom Happy birthday, Oliver, glad we could help out! #welovethisjob #HooverPD #weareinthistogether #callusifyouneedus

WATCH***Bomb dog Charlie's final sign off

Congrats Bomb dog Charlie! #HooverPD, and more specifically Night shift, is celebrating another veteran Officer’s retirement. Bomb dog Charlie, who has partnered with Officer Scott Prentiss since 2013, called it a career last Friday night. We were very fortunate to acquire Charlie seven years ago. Not only did he have distinguished career as a field trials dog, but he also served our country in the U.S. Marine Corps. After his tour of duty in Afghanistan ended in 2012, he joined the Hoover Police Department in 2013. Charlie served his partner, his Department, and his City with great distinction. Congratulations, Charlie, and it is with heavy, but happy hearts that we listen to Dispatch sign you off for the final time. K9 Charlie is 10-7. #K9retirement City of Hoover (All of our Police K9s live with their human partners. After retirement, the handler gets first "dibs". Charlie will be spending the rest of his days with Officer Prentiss and his family!)

Thank you for stopping by!

Special thanks to the Primrose School of Meadowbrook for coming by the #HooverPD Operations building today! They prepared some goodies and thank you cards for us in honor of National Law Enforcement Day. It’s always a great day when we can visit with the children in our community. Day Shift said that they had a blast with you guys! #welovethisjob (And, just a note to self, when a Motor scout Officer does a cartwheel on the training room mats, you’d better have the camera ready! “You snooze, you lose!” Nice moves, Officer Dozier!) #NationalLawEnforcementDay

Congratulations on retirement, Sergeant Thornton!

Congratulations on retirement, Sergeant Thornton! Sergeant “Jimmy T” Thornton retires today after 30 years with Hoover PD. Through the years, he has been a mainstay as a Night shift supervisor and the K9 unit supervisor. During his tenure over the K9 unit, Sgt. Thornton had a pivotal role in which narcotics, bomb and patrol dogs were selected to join the Department. He also was in charge of the extensive training they went through. On behalf of the Hoover community and the Hoover Police Department, thank you for your service, sir. Godspeed and enjoy your retirement. WATCH as Dispatch and Night shift say goodbye for the final time a few hours ago as Sgt. Thornton signs off and calls it a career. 510 is 10-7. #hooverpd (media credit: Hoover Police)

Escaped Prisoner Captured After Vehicle and Foot Pursuit

Escaped Prisoner Captured After Vehicle and Foot Pursuit At 5:00 A.M. this morning, a Hoover Police officer on patrol spotted a suspicious vehicle occupied by a male and female, in the parking lot of the Hampton Inn on John Hawkins Parkway. As the officer was speaking to the driver, he drove away at a high rate of speed. It was discovered that the driver was an escaped inmate from the Morgan County Jail and the female was a runaway teen from Moulton, Alabama. Officers temporarily lost sight of the vehicle but located it again on John Hawkins Parkway and attempted a traffic stop. The driver refused to stop and a pursuit ensued onto I-459 South. As the suspect was trying to get off I-459 at Exit 1, he lost control of the vehicle. Both subjects fled on foot and the female was captured after a brief foot chase. A perimeter was set and Hoover officers deployed an unmanned aerial vehicle “drone” to aid in locating the suspect. The drone operator located the male walking behind an industrial building and saw him get into an unlocked car. He was able to direct Bessemer Police officers and Jefferson County Sheriff’s deputies to the suspect’s location where they took him into custody. Both suspects were transported to the Hoover City Jail and charged with the following: John Kaleb Gillespie 30 years old Decatur, AL - Attempting to Elude $500.00 bond - Resisting Arrest $500.00 bond $1,000.00 Total Bond Juvenile Female 16 years old Moulton, AL - Resisting Arrest Juvenile Petition Gil

PHONE SCAM ALERT

***PHONE SCAM ALERT*** Hey, City of Hoover: This robo call has been reported in our area. Please be vigilant on these types of calls. They are spoofing local phone numbers to make it look like a local incoming call. Obviously, this is not how legitimate business or government business is done. Although the very first of the call was cut off, the robo call begins by saying that your Social Security Number has been used by “some kind of fraudulent activities in the south border of Texas…”. This is a scare tactic to try and get you to call them back so they can begin the scam. Do not press 1, simply hang up! (Then block the number.) If people weren’t falling for this, then it wouldn’t be making the rounds. Tell your family, especially our Seniors, stay alert! Be a #HangUpHero! #hooverpd #callusifyouneedus Better Business Bureau Serving Central and South Alabama JeffCo Metro Area Crime Center

Chief Derzis returns from covert delegation trip to Mexico

Chief Derzis, along with a delegation of Law Enforcement leaders from across the State, recently returned from a covert trip to Mexico and to the State of Sinaloa, home of the Sinaloa Cartel. “What this trip did for me, was to see the poison that’s being produced in (Mexico) that is coming here and killing people in the community that I serve. And I take that very, seriously,” he said. A delegation of twelve federal, state and local law enforcement officials traveled to Mexico to see, hear and smell the sophistication of the illegal narcotics trade there. The delegation was briefed in Mexico City at the highest levels.

Meet your Hoover K9s: Obi

Meet your Hoover K9s: Obi Chief Derzis is proud to introduce you to Hoover’s newest K9, Obi (pronounced "oh-bee"). After finishing his intense training with human partner/handler Officer Kyle Brohl late last year, Obi started his Law Enforcement career in January 2019. His primary job will be as a narcotics K9 and School Resource Officer at Hoover High School. This was an anticipated addition to HOOVER CITY SCHOOLS, as Spain Park High has K9 Ace patrolling the grounds there. Chief Derzis has long been looking for the right combination of K9 and handler to add at Hoover High School. Obi and Officer Brohl are the perfect fit. As Officer Brohl shared, “Obi fits in well at the schools and the kids love him. They usually greet Obi first before even acknowledging that I am standing there!” We have no doubt that Obi and Officer Brohl will be welcomed with open arms at Hoover High. It’s another reason why #welovethisjob! #hooverpd Special thanks to City of Hoover Hoover Pio Melanie Posey

"Come on, little brother! Hurry up with that food!"

Happy Friday! “Come on, little brother! Hurry up with that food!” “Tough cop” K9 Niko is all business while he is patrolling the streets of Hoover. As he finds out though, after he goes home with his partner Officer Howell, he’s just another part of the family. Niko (pronounced “Nee-koh”) loves dinner time, but it seems like he wants little brother to get more food in that scoop! HPD is very grateful for the hard work and dedication of our K9s and their handlers. Most of all, thank you to the K9 Officer families for welcoming them into your home. Hoover is a safer place because of it! #welovethisjob #feelgoodfriday #policeK9life #hooverpd More on Niko: http://ow.ly/T2Gf30pwNqu (media: you may use this video, but with credit to Hoover Police.) -END-

HPD Officers receive bicycle certification

Residents and visitors to Hoover could possibly see some Officers on bicycles while patrolling the streets. Eight Hoover Officers and five UAB PD Officers went through a Law Enforcement Bicycle Association (LEBA) certification course last week hosted by Hoover Police. Chief Derzis shared, “Getting these Officers certified for bicycle patrol is another example of just how important it is to engage with our community. The public might not be able to easily have a conversation with an Officer in a Police Tahoe, but being on a bike is the perfect opportunity for us to visit with the people we serve. "Officers on bicycles will also give us the ability to patrol areas that we might not have had easy access to before. They will be seen at special events that have a lot of foot traffic, like the SEC Baseball tournament, Regions Tradition golf tournament, shopping and retail locations, as well as other community functions.” Special thanks to Instructors Sgt. Larry Bailey and Corporal Stephen Gladden from UAB PD, Captain Bryan Fields from JCSO, and Lt. Kenny Fountain from HPD. #hooverpd (media please credit to Hoover Police)
