The Moultrie Police Department proudly recognizes three outstanding officers whose dedication, professionalism, and commitment to excellence have earned them well-deserved promotions.

We also congratulate Sergeant Shawn Salsman on his promotion from Officer to Sergeant. Sgt. Salsman has served as a police officer since 2021, following his service as a corrections officer. A dedicated member of our patrol division and current K-9 handler, he has accumulated an impressive 1,463 hours of advanced and specialized law enforcement training.

Honoring the life and legacy of former Moultrie City Councilman, Mr. LaMonte Alderman, Sr.
LaMonte served District 1, Post 2, from 1994 to 2002.
We are saddened to hear of Mr. Alderman’s passing and wanted to share a couple of significant photos from his time of service.
In the first accompanying photo, circa 1999, LaMonte sits with fellow leaders from the city council, county commissioners, state legislators, and state DOT officials, marking a historic milestone, the award of our first $1 million grant for downtown streetscape and courthouse square improvements. This significant event began the transformation of Downtown.
The second photo shows the city council during his time of service, including former City Manager Tony Rojas; Councilman Cecil Barber; Mayor Bill McIntosh; former Councilman Sherrod McCall; the late Councilman Wayne Cooper; the late Councilman Mr. George Walker; and former Councilman Lewis Herndon.
LaMonte's dedication to Moultrie will never be forgotten.
