🇺🇸 Happy Independence Day from the Cullman Police Department! 🇺🇸

Today, we celebrate the birth of our nation and the freedoms that make America extraordinary. As we gather with family and friends to enjoy cookouts, parades, and fireworks, we are reminded of the courage and sacrifice of those who fought to secure our independence—and of all who have continued to defend it over the past 250 years.

The men and women of the Cullman Police Department are proud to serve this community and help ensure everyone has a safe and enjoyable Fourth of July.

From our Cullman Police Department family to yours, we wish you a safe, happy, and memorable Independence Day.

Happy 4th of July, Cullman! God Bless America! 🇺🇸

This week, the Cullman Police Department hosted the Forensic Pieces Basic Bloodstain Pattern Analysis course. Five Cullman Police Department investigators attended the training alongside law enforcement professionals from Madison Police Department, Vestavia Hills Police Department, Cherokee County, Georgia, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, Biloxi, Mississippi, and Fargo, North Dakota.

This specialized training provided investigators with a deeper understanding of bloodstain pattern analysis, an important forensic discipline used in crime scene investigations. By hosting and participating in advanced training opportunities such as this, the Cullman Police Department continues to invest in professional development and ensures our investigators have access to the latest techniques and best practices in criminal investigations.

We appreciate Forensic Pieces for providing this valuable training and all of the agencies that traveled to Cullman to participate.

🎉🇺🇸 Happy 90th Birthday, Luther Johnson! 🇺🇸🎉

Today we celebrate Luther Johnson, a Korean War veteran who enlisted in the United States Army by lying about his age and joined when he was just 15 years old, turning 16 during his deployment to Korea.

Although Luther was trained as a cook, upon arriving in Korea he was informed that enough cooks were already assigned. Instead, he was assigned to a M.A.S.H. unit, where he proudly served as a medic, providing care and assistance to fellow service members during a time of war.

The Cullman Police Department was honored to visit Luther at the Cullman Senior Center and surprise him with some ice cream as we helped celebrate this special milestone. It was a privilege to spend time with him and hear about his remarkable life and service to our nation.

Thank you, Luther, for your courage, sacrifice, and dedication to serving others. We wish you a very Happy 90th Birthday and many more years of health, happiness, and blessings.

🎂 Happy Birthday, Luther, and thank you for your service! 🇺🇸👏
