Community Outreach

The U.S. Attorney's Office is involved in community outreach efforts across the Northern District of Alabama.  Our office maintains regular visibility in the community and is available to speak and participate at local events and meetings.  These efforts are intended to continue the relationship between law enforcement and local community organizations and to provide education concerning the federal laws that affect them.
