Alexander City Police Department to have new faces soon; other law agencies hiring

The Alexander City Police Department is hiring officers. Police chief Jay Turner said applicants must pass physical and written tests plus background evaluations before being sent to the police academy. Pictured, area officers respond to an incident last July.

The thin blue line will be a little thicker in the area but area law enforcement agencies are still seeking good people to join their forces.

The Alexander City Police Department is completing a phase of hiring, the Dadeville Police Department is looking for a few good people to hire for patrol and the Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Department is looking for applicants for corrections officers to replace officers moving on to higher-paying jobs.
