At any given time you can turn the television on or look on social media and see countless articles and news reports about what our law enforcement does wrong but very rarely do you see anything reported about the good they do for you and I and our community.

The trust has been broken or for the majority was never really there, between the police and the community and we are working hard to build that trust so that we all can live together peacefully in the town we all love.

We are so fortunate to live where we do. We have wonderful citizens and I know that Chief Walker and Sheriff Olson hold our officers and deputies to a very high standard.

On Saturday July 23rd officers from the Ozark Police Department, Dale County Sheriff Office, Ozark Fire Department, the DA’s office and Alabama State Troopers came out to play basketball with the citizens of Ozark.

Some of these officers were on duty and played on their lunch break. Everyone had a great time and it was a successful event. There has been talk about this being annual and maybe adding a flag football game as well.

Maybe we can get more media attention on this so that next year the event will be even bigger.
