The Town of
Chelsea, Shelby County Sheriff’s Office and Citizen Observer Patrol
groups are dedicated to reducing crime wherever possible. This collective
effort by town officials, law enforcement officers and community
volunteers will help discover, report and ultimately apprehend those
persons responsible for crime in the Town of Chelsea, Alabama.
The ultimate objective of this combined effort is to reduce crime and help
the citizens of Chelsea feel secure in their communities.
Additionally, citizen cooperation with the Sheriff’s Office puts persons
committing crimes in the community on notice that people not only support
their law enforcement agency in fighting crime but are actively working
with the law enforcement officers to do so.
