The Bruton Police Chief introduced three officers — Joshua Gunner, Christopher Crowley and Tyrese Nicholson — who graduated from the Alabama Police Academy on Dec. 4, 2025, and will begin field training with the department.

The Bruton Police Chief introduced three newly graduated officers and asked the council to join in welcoming them. "At this time, I'm proud to introduce 3 new Bruton Police Officers who graduated from the Alabama Police Academy in Selma, Alabama on 12/04/2025," the chief said.

The chief told the council the officers completed a 14-week academy program covering constitutional law, crisis response, defensive tactics, firearms and emergency vehicle operation. He said the three — Joshua Gunner, Christopher Crowley and Tyrese Nicholson — distinguished themselves in class leadership and awards: Gunner served as class president, Crowley received a top physical fitness award and Nicholson was named the Commander's Award recipient.

The chief said the officers will continue in a field training program working alongside senior officers and expressed confidence they will serve the city with integrity. The mayor and council acknowledged the introduction; the record shows no public comment on the personnel introductions.
