Citizens often wish they knew more about the public safety system. In turn, Prattville Police Department and Prattville Fire Department members wish the public had a better understanding of the challenges facing Police Officers and Firefighters.

To bridge the gap of understanding, our Police and Fire Departments have joined together to create a "Prattville Police & Fire Citizens' Academy."

The Prattville Police & Fire Citizens' Academy offers a two-way communication between the citizens, Police Officers and Firefighters, while providing a mechanism for educating the public about public safety.

ATTENTIVENESS vs. distraction . . . showing the worth of a person or task by giving my undivided attention.

On April 17, the Prattville-Autauga Character Coalition held its Fourth Annual Character Recognition Luncheon at the Marriott Legends at Capitol Hill. Winners in several categories were announced. 

Jennifer Barrett and Anthony Brock announced winners of the character poster contest held at Second Chance School.    

All of the winners showed extraordinary attentiveness and tremendous worth and respect to the people, tasks or goals that they served or set for themselves. They accomplished these goals by following high standards of good character in their lives. 

The present moment is filled with joy and happiness.

If you are attentive, you will see it.”
