CULLMAN, Ala. – Four officers with the Cullman Police Department (CPD) were presented with Years of Service Pins at a small ceremony Wednesday afternoon. Officer Kelley Hubbard, Officer Jonathan England, Officer Dustin Colburn and Officer Hunter Potts each received pins for 5 years of service.
Chief Kenny Culpepper, who made the presentations, said to his officers, “This is really putting a focus on how we do things because of COVID, and I know this is a bit unusual. I wish we could do it at a council meeting so that you could be before the mayor, council and everybody else by bringing your family up and doing it like we have done it.”
