Law enforcement from across North Alabama gathered at the Back the Blue BBQ event on Tuesday.
Gov. Kay Ivey and Attorney General Steve Marshall also attended and spoke. It took place at the Cook Museum of Natural Science.
The Morgan County Sheriff said times are tough when it comes to hiring quality people to join the force. He told me he doesn't know an agency that isn't looking to hire right now.
While departments are looking to hire, they also wanted to celebrate those already working to protect our communities. People from police departments, sheriff's offices and ALEA came to the museum to get to know one another.
