Today, Chief Duncan and Sheriff Gentry proudly joined forces to represent local law enforcement in the Cullman County Fair Parade. Our Aviation Unit was also in the air — Officers Matt Dean and Justin Turner took to the skies in the helicopter and captured some incredible shots of the parade route and the Oktoberfest grounds from above. We’ll also be sharing some great drone footage from our Aviation Unit later, so stay tuned! It’s always an honor to stand shoulder-to-shoulder in support of our community — whether on the ground or in the air!
