Montgomery County Sheriff's Office

The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office would like to thank the Alabama Gazette for their outstanding help in educating and providing important and informative information to the citizens of Montgomery County and the surrounding counties. The Gazette has been instrumental in providing information for citizens and for this reason we'd like to thank you publicly for letting us utilize your newspaper. Sheriff Cunningham often refers to the Alabama Gazette while speaking to various organizations and groups, so everyone is aware of the various services and programs we provide to the community and look forward to continuing our relationship to keep citizens informed.
