Good evening everyone, and welcome to the Possum Drop! On behalf of the men and women of the Tallapoosa Police Department, I want to wish you and your families a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year. Tonight is a time to celebrate new beginnings, reflect on the year behind us, and look forward to what’s ahead. We’re glad you’re here enjoying this event with your friends, neighbors, and community. As you celebrate, I ask that you do so responsibly. Please look out for one another, be aware of your surroundings, and most importantly—if you plan to drink, don’t drive. Make a plan ahead of time, use a designated driver, rideshare, or call for a safe ride home. No celebration is worth risking your life or the life of someone else. Our officers are here to help ensure everyone has a safe and enjoyable evening, so don’t hesitate to reach out if you need assistance. Thank you for being part of our community, thank you for celebrating safely, and from all of us—Happy New Year!
