Happy Forensic Science Week! 🔬

We want to recognize the work our Forensic Services team does examining fingerprints and fi****ms evidence right here at TPD.

They can take something as small as a fingerprint, a shell casing or markings on a bullet and use it to help connect evidence to a case.

Our lab is internationally accredited, something this team worked hard to earn through a lot of training and a lot of studying. We appreciate the work they do every day!

We are saddened by the passing of Council President Kip Tyner.

Councilor Tyner was a longtime supporter of public safety and of the men and women of the Tuscaloosa Police Department. Whether the issue affected District 5 or the city as a whole, he cared about the safety of the people he represented and was always willing to support our officers and our work.

We are grateful for his many years of service to Tuscaloosa.

The Tuscaloosa Violent Crimes Unit with assistance from FBI Birmingham are asking for the public’s help in the investigation of a shooting that injured eight people Saturday night in west Tuscaloosa.

Tuscaloosa Police officers responded to the 2600 block of 22nd Street at approximately 10:48 p.m. Saturday after receiving reports of multiple people being shot.

Eight people have now been identified as victims. Seven victims were initially reported, and an additional victim later arrived at the hospital for treatment of a gunshot graze wound Sunday afternoon.

Investigators are asking anyone who attended the event or was in the surrounding area Saturday night to provide any photographs, cellphone video, surveillance footage or other information that could assist with the investigation.

The FBI has established a digital media tip line that allows members of the public to submit information, photos and videos directly to investigators.
The tip line is available at:

http://www.fbi.gov/tuscaloosashooting

Anyone with information related to the shooting is encouraged to use the tip line to submit digital media information that may assist investigators.

The investigation is ongoing, and additional information will be released when available.
