Gulf Shores, Ala. — (OBA) — The Gulf Shores Police Association encourages residents to participate in its community programs and upcoming charity events.

This year, the association highlights two key efforts to help children and families in Gulf Shores. Members say these programs demonstrate how much the department values giving back.
