Proudly serving Dothan, Alabama since 1904
There is no parking allowed on the 100 block of North and South Foster today if you are parked there you have until 1440to move, so PLEASE
come move your vehicle. If it is not moved in that time unfortunately we will have to tow it due to the event that will be arriving shortly thereafter.
The Dothan Police Department is working an active crash scene at Ross Clark and Kelly we asked motorists to please avoid the area as there are major closures and delays on Ross Clark Circle. There is an ongoing investigation of this crash and multiple criminal acts that preceded involving one of the vehicles. We ask the public to understand that there may be as many as four scenes to investigate leading up to the area we now stand so we ask for patience and understanding as we have members of patrol, investigations and traffic working diligently to find answers.
Thank you Troy Dothan Gamma Beta Phi and the member pictured here for donated toys for kids in need at DPD today following their monthly drive!

Day 4 of the K9 seminar was a huge success. After three outstanding days of training and certification handlers got to put their dogs through an exciting and fun series of competitions to see who is the best of the best! Pictured here is just a taste of the patrol competition. While moving through a dark building filled with smoke, obstacles, flashing lights, loud sounds, and other distractions that any team on duty could face any day of the week in a real life situation, handlers had to transition seamlessly between locating suspects and locating narcotics. This was an outstanding exercise that all thoroughly enjoyed.
Pictures from day 2
Police canines are awesome! They have the ability to break down and eliminate odors which allows them to be trained to indicate on specific odors such as narcotics. The great thing is they don’t see this as work what they know is when they successfully indicate an odor for which they have been trained a ball magically appears and they get to play! Many different dogs are featured here indicating the presence of an odor at this printer that in fact contained marijuana. One picture shows that moment that dogs dream about when the ball magically appears falling from the sky!
23rd annual K-9 seminar has begun today make sure you follow us all week long as we will be posting a lot of great information and photographs! Noticing out of town canine cars around town?! That is why they are here!
