Montgomery, Alabama
Discussions about how other law enforcement agencies can help support MPD with rampant crime until more officers can be hired was one of the main topics at last night city council meeting. Councilwoman Julie Turner Beard introduced a resolution at Tuesday night’s meeting that would allow MPD to work with other law enforcement agencies like ALEA and the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office. They would assist MPD until the department is able to hire more officers.
“We’ve reached out to them & told them that if they get backed up on calls or need assistance we will certainly respond with them and any assistance that they need we are particularly paying attention to the commercial areas restaurants, shopping centers, places that have a high volume of pedestrian activity,” said Chief Deputy Kevin Murphy. He said the sheriff has received some overtime funds from the Montgomery County Commission so they can put extra deputies out on the roads.
