A huge congratulations to Officer Ryan Whisenhunt, Officer Josh Spinks, and Officer Michael Bryant on achieving their Field Training Officer (FTO) certifications! This is a monumental accomplishment and a clear reflection of their commitment, expertise, and dedication to the Cullman Police Department.
Becoming a certified Field Training Officer is a significant milestone in an officer’s career. It’s not just about meeting a set of qualifications; it’s about being entrusted with the responsibility of mentoring and guiding new recruits, shaping the next generation of officers. This certification represents an investment in their leadership and teaching abilities, as well as their deep understanding of law enforcement procedures and community relations.
Field Training Officers play a crucial role in helping new recruits transition from theoretical knowledge to real-world application, teaching them how to handle various situations with professionalism, quick decision-making, and compassion. They must balance both teaching and enforcing, ensuring that the core values of the department are upheld in every interaction. Their influence can truly make a difference in shaping the culture of the department and fostering a sense of accountability and excellence.
Your hard work, long hours, and unwavering dedication to both the community and your colleagues have not gone unnoticed. The Cullman Police Department is fortunate to have such qualified officers stepping up to train future members, and the entire community benefits from your service.
We look forward to seeing the continued positive impact you’ll make as Field Training Officers, and we appreciate all that you do to make Cullman a safer and stronger place.

In Memoriam: Officer Jack Springer
This week, the Cullman Police Department mourns the loss of one of our most cherished retired officers, Jack Springer. Jack served our community as a reserve officer for more than fifty years, from June 1, 1968, to December 31, 2019. His dedication, kindness, and willingness to help others left a lasting impact on those who had the privilege to work alongside him.
Jack was a true pleasure to work with and will be deeply missed by all who knew him. The Cullman Police Department extends our heartfelt condolences to Jack’s family during this difficult time. Please join us in keeping them in your thoughts and prayers as they celebrate his remarkable life and legacy.
