CULLMAN, Ala. – The Cullman City Council on Monday evening, Feb. 19, suspended regular procedural rules to approve its first reading and ordinance to create the new city staff position of public safety director, and a few moments later passed a resolution to name Cullman Fire Rescue Chief Brian Bradberry to the post. Deputy Fire Chief Darren Peeples was then appointed interim fire chief.
“This is going to be an effort to coordinate our police department, fire department and the communications dispatch office, which we think will make a stronger, much stronger area of public safety in all areas for the city, stronger and more coordinated,” Council President Jenny Folsom explained.
