Thank you National Fraternal Order of Police for spot lighting the Prattville Police Department here in Autauga County Alabama. They are a top notch agency!

One department. One standard. Always ready.

The Prattville Police Department recently held its first quarterly in-service training at the new Prattville Public Safety Building, bringing officers from across shifts and units together for training focused on use of force and decision-making.

Lt. Tyler Ray led the session, covering case law and PPD policy to ensure officers have the knowledge they need to make sound decisions when it matters most.

Beyond the training itself, sessions like this give the entire department an opportunity to come together, strengthen teamwork, and build the relationships that make them stronger as one department.

And, of course, a big thank you to everyone who provided food, especially the PPD spouses for the amazing desserts.

Training together. Learning together. Serving together.
