About 71,000 people are in the Mobile police jurisdiction. It’s the area three miles outside of city limits that Mobile police and fire crews respond to.
“I think if you follow the legislation from Montgomery, there’s been this steady drumbeat, maybe since 2016, to get all the cities out of the jurisdiction,” said Mobile’s Chief of Staff James Barber.
“I think it would be appropriate for the city council to again consider whether it makes sense for the city to continue to provide police and fire protection to the areas of police jurisdiction that do not annex into the city,” said Daves. Councilman William Carroll said leaving tens of thousands without fire and police protection is a lot to consider.
