Prichard’s Police Transition Ends Sept 4 | Mobile News

Mobile County deputies are pulling back from Prichard’s daily patrols starting September 4, after nearly ten weeks of stepping in to cover for the city’s beleaguered police force. Sheriff Paul Burch says this temporary aid can’t continue without a clear plan and funding — balancing Prichard’s needs with countywide responsibilities. While an extension was granted as goodwill, the sheriff made it clear: by September 4, Prichard must have its own fully operational police department or risk losing critical support. The clock is ticking as city leaders scramble to secure their community’s safety. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
