Foley Police Department

The Foley Police Department re-structured in 2007 and again in 2014 and now consists of 60 police officers and 29 public servant civilian employees. The Department is organized into Field Operations Command, Special Operations Command, Patrol Division, Criminal Investigations Division, and Administration Division. We have one of the highest starting salaries for police officers of our region and the officers are highly productive as well as very approachable by their community. The department uses teamwork across the board, which has contributed to Foley's serious crime being cut. We have a Corrections Staff that supervises a 55 bed jail, a 10 person Communications Staff that is our lifeline, and administrative employees that get the job done. In addition to 4 patrol shifts that serve as our first line of defense, we have a Professional Development Unit, a Bike Unit, a K-9 Squad, a Special Response Team, a Community Services Unit, a Community Outreach & Development Unit, a Police Fusion Center, a Code Enforcement Unit, a School Resource Officer program, an Accident Investigations Unit, an Intelligence Unit, Warrants Unit, and a 13 person Detective Unit. The rank structure for the department consists of 10 Corporals, 8 Sergeants, 3 Lieutenant’s, 2 Captains, 5 jail supervisors, 5 dispatch supervisors, a Deputy Chief and Chief of Police. The City of Foley only accepts employment applications when there is an advertised opening within the department. The hiring process is in depth and tough as well as highly competitive.
