Title
Recognition of Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office and Partner Law Enforcement Agencies for Outstanding Efforts in Child Rescue and Recovery
End
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation
In two recent cases involving missing and abducted children, numerous law enforcement officers from multiple agencies at both the local and state levels worked tirelessly and in close coordination to ensure a safe outcome. Thanks to the swift and unified efforts of these dedicated professionals-and with the strong support of elected officials-both children were safely recovered and reunited with their families.
The Baldwin County Commission would like to recognize and commend the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office, collaborating law enforcement agencies and elected officials in acknowledgement of their exceptional work for protecting children and reuniting families.
Their dedication, coordination, and swift action reflect a deep commitment to the safety and well-being of the most vulnerable members of our community.
