    Birmingham Police Chief Scott Thurmond announced last week that he will retire from the Birmingham Police Department effective November 29, 2024. Mayor Randall L. Woodfin has named Deputy Chief Michael Pickett as the interim police chief upon Thurmond's departure. “I want to thank Chief Thurmond for his many years of service and commitment to our city,” Mayor Woodfin said. “Under Chief Thurmond’s leadership, we have seen a reduction in overall violent and property crime. While we remain laser-focused on reducing gun violence, in particular homicides, I want to commend Chief Thurmond for his leadership that led to last week’s arrests in three cases, including the Magnolia Avenue shooting.” “After 26 years of service and much thought and prayer, I began to have this discussion with my family about four to five months ago," said Chief Thurmond. "I have served the citizens of Birmingham and the Birmingham Police Department for over half of my life, and I am forever grateful for all of the friends and memories. My tenure at the Birmingham Police Department has exceeded any expectations I may have had when I first embarked on this journey. I am also extremely grateful to Mayor Woodfin for giving me the opportunity to lead the Birmingham Police Department. I am confident that I could not be leaving this city and its citizens in better hands.” Under Thurmond’s leadership, the department has continued to strengthen valuable alliances with the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office and multiple federal partners. Those resources combined with the city’s continued investment in technology and focus on a $16 million recruiting and retention campaign for officers will define the future of law enforcement in Birmingham. Deputy Chief of Special Operations Michael Pickett is a two-decade law enforcement veteran. He is a graduate of Ramsay High School and Miles College. Pickett joined the Birmingham Police Department 20 years ago. His first assignment was West Precinct patrol. “Deputy Chief Pickett is a committed public servant and innovative public safety strategist,” Mayor Woodfin said. “Under DC Pickett’s leadership, BPD dramatically reduced the dangerous lawlessness of exhibition driving through Operation Knight Rider. This operation has reduced the disruption this lawless behavior created in our city streets.”
