HUNTSVILLE – With a combined total of almost 145 years of law enforcement experience, 11 Huntsville police officers were promoted at a special ceremony last week. “As the City of Huntsville continues to grow, so too must our police department, ensuring we remain committed to the safety, security, and well-being of every resident,” Chief Kirk Giles said. “Promoting from within is a key part of that mission. It allows us to recognize the dedication, leadership, and expertise of those who have already proven their commitment to this community.”
