Currently, there are no road closures or issues reported due to the heavy rain and wind. However, please watch out for the possibility of debris and standing water on the roadways. Several of our surrounding cities have reported power outages and flooding. If you approach a traffic signal that does not have power, it is considered a 4 way stop.

We have contractors that are about to start the Brentwood water tank rehabilitation project. There will be a big containment curtain around the whole tank. This project is expected to take 6-8 weeks. They are blasting and painting the inside and outside of this tank. Also they will be washing the inside and outside of Hwy 16, George Roy Parkway, and Waterford tanks as well. This is all preventative maintenance to better serve the community.

November 2023 patrol data
Total calls for service- 1476

We have updated our monthly statistical information format in an effort to further improve our transparency. Calera like all cities has crime and we believe in keeping our citizens informed while we continue to make our city an unpopular destination for criminals. This goes against the national trend but I believe that ignoring crime or hiding crime from your citizens encourages more. (Chief Hyche)

This is Calera’s School Resource Officer Unit and K9 team. We finally have a complete unit in place including an SRO Sergeant. Just three years ago we had two SROs covering our four schools.

The relationship with our school administrators and County administrators is excellent and we are constantly working as a team to make our schools as safe as possible. Stay tuned for new initiatives and programs we plan to launch this Fall.

Parents and school administrators, thank you for your patience as we worked to put the pieces in place.

We have hired the best of the best. If my kids were in danger there is no group I would rather have protecting them. Nothing we do is more important than the safety and security of our children. (Chief Hyche)
