CULLMAN, Ala. – On Monday evening, the Cullman Police Department (CPD) and Cullman City Council honored one of the city’s police officers for his years of service, and officially promoted two others.
Officer Rodney Banister, who currently works in Animal Control, received his 15-year pin.
Assistant Chief Craig Montgomery said of Banister, “He is a wonderful employee, and he embraces the mayor’s mantra of customer service to the T. He is always going to do whatever is necessary.”
