After more than two decades in law enforcement across Tennessee and Alabama, Mike Kiser has been sworn in as Uniontown’s new police chief.
The veteran officer says he is committed to building trust, strengthening the department and ensuring the city’s residents feel supported rather than intimidated by law enforcement.
Kiser, originally from Greenback, Tennessee, began his Alabama career at the Selma Police Department in 2010, serving in specialized roles including K-9 officer and SWAT operations commander. He later led the narcotics division at the Dallas County Sheriff’s Office, where he worked closely with federal agencies. His career also includes service with the Perry County Sheriff’s Office, where he rose to chief deputy before transitioning to Uniontown earlier this year.
Black Belt News Network's Todd Prater meets with Kiser to talk about his plans for the department.
