AT POLICE CITIZENS' ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING
Chief Joe Petties has named Officer Phelon Durgins as Fairhope's Officer of the Month for October, 2012.

He also made numerous arrests and traffic stops that month.
Petties: "You have proven to be a valued asset of the police department ... truly a credit to our department ... ."
Durgins thanked the Committee for the award and became emotional speaking of how he lost his partner in the line of duty when he was a member of the Mobile Police Department in 2008.
