Closer to home, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to the dedicated men and women of the Cullman Police Department. The Cullman Police Department exemplifies a community-oriented approach to policing, striving to ensure a safe and secure environment for all residents of Cullman .  To every officer at the Cullman Police Department: thank you for your unwavering commitment, professionalism, and courage.
