A big thank-you to whomever took the time to share a unique and random act of kindness on our behalf!
This kind gesture not only reminded each of us this morning why we chose this profession, but also put a smile on our face!
The Vestavia Hills Rotary Club graciously donated lunch valued gift cards for local restaurants to each member of the police department. We are truly blessed to have such phenomenal support.
May 15th, 2020 is Peace Officers Memorial Day in honor of Federal, State and Municipal Officers that have been killed in the line of duty. In recognition and honor of their sacrifice, flags will be at half-mast.
As many of you are aware, the Vestavia Hills Police Foundation has been spearheading an effort to construct a monument on the lawn at VHPD that honors police officers, past and present, for their commitment and sacrifice.
Appropriately, Phase 1 of that project is now complete.
The tireless efforts of the Foundation members and an outpouring of community support has created a timeless piece that will stand for generations to come. The words inscribed are also timeless and serve as a reminder to us and all who visit, that law enforcement is more than a profession, more than a job... it is a calling. A calling to always put others before yourself and to defend those that can't defend themselves.
All of us at VHPD are keenly aware of how fortunate we are to work in such a supportive community. We pledge to never take that support for granted. As the monument decrees, we will serve Vestavia Hills with Valor, Honor, Pride, and Dignity.
We will be eternally grateful to all of those that supported the Vestavia Hills Police Foundation in making this dream a reality.

Be a #HangupHero
Please be aware of a phone scam circulating in the area. The incoming call is being spoofed either as a Hoover government agency number, a local 205 area code, or “private number”. The caller says that you possibly have pending criminal charges and/or a warrant for your arrest. They will try to scare you and obtain personal information.
This is NOT how legitimate government business is done. Keep these tips in mind:
• Simply hang up. (if they give you a call back number, DON’T call it back!)
• Never give personal information (even your phone number) to a stranger over the phone (on received calls).
• Never send money, gift card information, itunes card information, or ANY other type of payment to a stranger over the phone.
• If you have questions about the call, hang up. Call a family member or trusted friend so you can seek a second opinion. You can also call Hoover PD Dispatch non-emergency at 205-822-5300.

*Message from the Mayor*
I am encouraged by the most recent data that shows continued progress in the battle against COVID-19. I applaud our residents for the part you have played in slowing the spread of this disease and look forward to the day we can return to “business as usual” – in both our personal and professional lives.
I am equally encouraged by Governor Ivey’s most recent order to amend previous orders regarding social distancing, public gatherings and the reopening of retail, albeit with certain restrictions. This new order looks to be a safe, responsible plan for gradually reopening our economy and restoring the economic health of Vestavia Hills. To be clear, the threat is not over and, as such, our most vulnerable residents should continue to protect themselves as necessary. As stated previously, reopening our economy safely must be a gradual, carefully planned process. But I am confident that every effort is being made to restore the business community that is so vital to Vestavia Hills.
The full order is available under "Orders, Proclamations & Advisories" at https://vhal.org/alert-center.

This video is of a suspect in several vehicle break-ins. The suspect checks the car doors to see if they are unlocked, they are not and he moves onto the next driveway. The suspect found several unlocked vehicles in the area. This is how fast this crime is carried out. Locked doors do not always deter the thief but unlocked doors offer no deterrent. These break-ins happened on 08/29/2017 around 1AM in the area of shades Crest Road and Monterey Place. If you have any information on this incident please call 978-0140.
Learning how to breach doors, may come in handy if you lock yourself out of the house.
