City of Mobile and Mobile Police Department Unveil New First Precinct Location

Описание: On August 9, 2022, the City of Mobile and Mobile Police Department celebrated the opening of the new 1st Precinct at 2601 Dauphin Island Parkway in the heart of the DIP Community. After listening to concerns from the community, Councilman C.J. Small has been pushing for a more convenient and centrally located precinct in his district for years. This new location will mean improved response times and increased police visibility in the community. Having a municipal court clerk at the facility will also mean area residents will no longer have to go downtown to pay tickets from the City of Mobile. Because of its size, the new precinct will also be able to host community meetings and a classroom for police trainees, which will allow MPD to take on a third class of new recruits each year. This is the third precinct the City of Mobile has opened under Mayor Sandy Stimpson's administration and the final piece of of strategic plan to centrally locate police precincts across the city. This strategic plan has always focused on increasing response times and making our police officers more accessible to the communities they serve. This ribbon cutting at the new precinct was a long-awaited event for the citizens of DIP, but it’s also something all Mobilians should be excited about.
