Just a reminder to everyone to lock your car doors and remove any valuable or personal items.
We have had multiple cars that have been left unlocked and items were taken from the vehicles, including firearms.
Early this Morning, Officer Roy Bates and Officer Daniel Palisay were patrolling in the area of Warnke Road SW. The Officers witnessed a silver Chevy Impala speeding through a parking lot, and it nearly struck their patrol vehicle as it entered the roadway.
Once they stopped the vehicle, Officer Bates and Palisay were able to determine that the two had just committed a robbery at a nearby residence.
Officer Bates and Palisay recovered the victim's stolen wallet, money, a cell phone and the weapon used in the robbery.
Stanley Ray Menefee, 69yrs old, from Ensley, AL and Mark Ples Jones, 49 years old, from Bessemer, AL were arrested for Robbery 1st and Unlawful Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.
The Cullman Police Department would like to commend both Officer Bates and Officer Palisay for their outstanding work.
Both suspects are currently incarcerated at the Cullman County Detention Center.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Cullman County Sheriffs Office, and to the families of the individuals involved. 
On Friday September 1st, the Cullman Police Department celebrated the retirement of Lieutenant Mick Harbison.
Lieutenant Harbison served nearly 30 years with the department, most recently as the School Resource Officer Lieutenant.
Thank you Lieutenant Harbison for your service to the department!

If you receive a call from someone claiming to be a Cullman Police Department officer advising you of a summons or that you have missed court, please disregard. This is a scam. There is no need to contact the PD or Cullman City Communications.

The Cullman Police Department is so proud of these individuals. These seven officers, Olivia Ball, Addison Allred, Caleb Lambert, Anthony Hickman Jr., Justin Turner, Daniel Palisay and Jeffrey David, graduated from the Northeast Alabama Law Enforcement Academy today.
These Officers not only attended the academy, but they went above and beyond. Several served as leaders throughout the academy and for the the first time in the history of the Cullman Police Department, our own Justin Turner won the directors award, which is the highest honor a cadet can achieve. Officer Turner also received the Top Gun award which makes two consecutive sessions that a CPD officer has won this award. Congratulations to all of you!
