OVERVIEW OF PUBLIC SAFETY AGENCIES IN ALABAMA
Police services are provided by Alabama State Troopers, County Sheriff Departments, and City Police Departments. Fire services are provided by city fire departments and local fire departments. There are no or few county fire department or regional fire departments. Ambulance service is provided by fire departments, county ambulances, private ambulances, and maybe a few local independent services. State Forestry ("Alabama Forestry Commission") provides typically one or two bulldozers and one or two transport trucks per county (staffed by 1 ranger each). Typically each county has a countywide 911 center operating under the county sheriff or county government. Many agencies operate on VHF highband, UHF, or 700/800 Mhz. SouthernLinc provided radio service to many agencies from 1995 to 2015 approx.
