We met police officers at Waffle House then this happened!

Only in Smalltown Alabama can you walk into a police station and make friends. We finally made it. We finally made it. I'm so glad. Welcome Batman. So you're Batman? Yes. Drug Abuse Resistant Education Program. I started teaching it in 1990. Little girl come to me and had all my stuff on my belt and Batman had just come out. So she started calling me Batman. In the third year, everybody called me Batman. This stuff I've got from parents or kids I've taught or teachers. I tell them that's my Bat Cave. Oh my god, it's the Bat Cave. It really is the Bat Cave. Everything's impossible until somebody does it. Oh, Mom's just taken over. This is amazing. Thank you so much. Thirty-nine years and the chief. I've been the chief. October, I start my 23rd year. The year before last, we were number one city, safest city in the state. They bought this whole building, it was a bank. This building was donated to us. The police department and communication used to be on square. This is our booking room. Suspect is Australian. We'll process here and take them to the county jail. Where's the jail in Abbeville? He's the fireworks guy. That's where we store all the evidence. Oh, really? The evidence locker. What is it? Evidence. But with everyone involved in or anything like that, we have to store it for life. So I've done the started back with the very first. I brought it all current date. 1906. He was the first marshal. Chief of Police, Will Monk. That's incredible. It is. You've done such a wonderful job. The nail is out of the first jail. That was the actual it was in 1800s. That little building out there on the square. Yes. Used to be a police station. Yes, that was the police station. J.T. (Tullis) Smith, 1962-1968. J.T. (Tullis) Smith, 1972-1976. Well, that was back in what '62. And I got one officer that got shot in the line of duty. He was one of my best friends. That was Dexter right there. It gives me a different aspect to life when that happened. This is my commander, Bill Knight. How's it going? What does a commander do? A little bit of everything. This is Mr. Etress. He keeps everything but paperwork-wise. G'day, hello. I'm Amanda. It's lovely to meet you. This is CID. This is you. CID. I came back from. I need a job and they were like, hey, this is what you did in the military, alright? That's what you qualified. What do you wanna do? I'm like, I'm okay catching bad guys. Now, all those are from cases that we made in the last 12 months. True counterfeits can pass a marker test. Those are both fake $1 bills. It feels like legit paper. But real money does not use paper. It's made of linen. Close your eyes and feel both of those together. Feel a little bit of difference. I'm gonna assume this one. No. I'm certified on determining bullet trajectory, collecting actual blood. I can actually collect touch DNA. So everything that y'all touched in this building, I can actually collect if I wanted to. They're the same. This is the interrogation room. We got the cameras and all up in it. This is the captain's office. Hello, captain. How you goin'? G'day, captain. This is Bethany now. She is my special victims investigator and she does all the rapes and juveniles. We deal with guns and drones. I fly the drones and all this stuff. This is where we come back and get some. If any of you ever need CPR certification, I do it. Since I've been here, we've had maybe four homicides. That's it. They were all solved within 12 hours. Is this the Batmobile? That's it. I'm in the Batmobile. Put your foot on brake and push that button. It will show the speed as they come back. Please pull to the right of the white line and stop. Was like, that's what I thought. You've given us such a positive impression of police. Always a little bit scared. You know, like, oh, there's the police. Don't blink. We're just like everybody else. It's just we had a different calling. Thank you so much. We're so blessed that y'all came out. I'm so glad y'all came. Females are needed in Alabama. I have to work on my fitness.
