What started as a routine traffic stop in Huntsville quickly turned into a violent attack on law enforcement. Shortly after midnight, officers pulled over a woman with an active warrant for violating her probation. But instead of complying, she tried to escape—slamming into a tow truck, throwing her car into reverse, and ramming two officers and their patrol vehicle before speeding away.
She didn’t care about the lives she put at risk. Not the officers left seriously injured. Not the passengers—including her own child—who jumped out before she fled. Not the innocent drivers in her path as she led police on a chase that ended only when she crashed into an unoccupied car.
This is what officers face daily—criminals who show no regard for human life. The two officers are now recovering from serious injuries, but they shouldn’t have to suffer because someone chose to turn a traffic stop into an assault. Enough is enough. Those who attack law enforcement must face real consequences.

Without hesitation, PCSO Paul Brassey waded into the sea—fully clothed and without safety equipment—to save a vulnerable woman in crisis. Braving the waters up to his shoulders, he refused to give up, persistently speaking to her until he could bring her safely back to shore.
His courage and selflessness ensured she got the medical attention she needed. This is what true heroism looks like.
👏 Well done, Paul! You’ve made Essex Police and your community proud.

Sandy Springs Police Department has welcomed a new member to its K-9 unit, but with a twist—meet K-9 Jumper, a goat! While most K-9 units are filled with trained dogs, Jumper is bringing a unique set of skills to the force, including narcotics detection, apprehension, and of course, an impressive jumping ability. Known for his head-butting and hard-headed determination, Jumper is ready to make criminals think twice before running—because you can’t outrun a goat that can leap to new heights!
We’re excited to see how this new addition will shake things up in Sandy Springs. Welcome to the force, Jumper! 🐐🚓
