2020 was a year a unique year. While most were sheltering at home during the COVID-19 health pandemic, dedicated first responders showed up for duty through it all.

"I would like to say, as we all know 2020 was kind of a unique year. We had to do some things, make some allowances, some changes and things like that, but I would like to just, you know, brag on these employees," Tallassee Police Chief Matthew Higgins said. "We don't have a job that we have the option to work from home."
