During Saturday’s event guest residents were treated to free hot dogs, hot chocolate and popcorn during a block party.  Among residents attending the block party was University of Alabama starting defensive end, Daron Payne.

According to Irondale Police Chief, Ken Atkinson, ” It’s wonderful to see citizens interacting in a laid back environment with neighbors they’ve never met, police officers assigned to their neighborhood, their city councilor- Bobby Joe Wilson and Irondale Mayor, Charles Moore.  It don’t get any better than this !!

The Irondale Cop Stop is successful in large part due to a partnership between the Irondale Police Department, Irondale On the MOVE and the Holiday Gardens Neighborhood Association.   Plans are to have Irondale Cop Stops in each Irondale District throughout 2017.
