Sheriff Spotlight: Mark Harrell, Autauga County
What are some recent updates from the Autauga County Sheriff's Office?
We have several positive things happening with the Autauga County Sheriff's Office. We just completed our first Autauga County Sheriff's Office Rodeo, and hope for this to be an annual event.
We are looking forward to hosting a Special Needs Fishing Rodeo at Camp Hobbs Boy Scout Camp on May 18.
We have also recently added a Mental Health Deputy to the Autauga County Sheriff's Office to assist in the commitment of persons in Mental Health Crisis, and we have expanded our Sheriff's Office K9 unit with Drug Detection K9's on each shift and three tracking K9's for Search and Rescue.
How long have you served as Sheriff?
1 year and 5 months
Hometown: Montgomery, Alabama
Family: I am married to Melissa Harrell, and we have five children - two boys and three girls.
Hobbies: I love to hunt deer, travel, and spend time with my family.
Favorite quote/saying/verse/etc.:
