Downtown Sidewalk and Street Projects |
|
The downtown sidewalk project is progressing very well and is looking good! At the same time, the State of Alabama has made changes to the streets and parking around the square. We urge everyone to be aware of these changes and to take care as we now have some parallel parking in Headland. We ask that all parallel parking on the west side be towards the south end of the park.

Dwight Grooms - Alabama Officer of the Year |
|
Corporal Dwight Grooms of the Headland Police Department has been chosen as the Alabama Statewide Officer of the Year for his actions on April 24, 2009 in southern Henry County just east of Headland. Cpl Grooms was nominated for the award by Headland Police Chief Mark Jones for what he states was heroic and professional behavior during a shootout that left Officer Dexter Hammon dead and Henry County Sheriff's Deputy Ted Yost critically injured after Fred Davis opened fire on the officers in the Granberry Crossing Community.
“I thought about getting out, but I told my wife Dexter died for me,” Grooms said. “I got to thinking Dexter wouldn’t quit if I got killed. I’d rather have Dexter back than all the awards in the world.”
