Flomaton Police Department Appoints Three Chaplains, Including Century’s Mayor
August 13, 2020
The Flomaton Police Department appointed three chaplains Wednesday, including Century’s mayor.
The chaplains are supervisor Alvin Bethea, who is pastor at Flomaton Pentecostal Holiness Church; Jonathan Hill, pastor at Little Escambia Baptist Church; and Century Mayor Henry Hawkins, pastor at Damascus Missionary Baptist Church in Flomaton.
“I am so blessed to have these three great men serving for my department as chaplains. This is going to be a great service to our community and town, through the service of some of our church leaders! God bless our town,” Flomaton Police Chief Charles Thompson said.
On the recommendation of the Mayor Dewey Bondurant, the Flomaton Town Council approved the chaplain program for the police department.

A chaplain helps with different things like death notifications to family members. They are a there for workers, or citizens who would like to speak with them in negative times. Fire Departments also have them i think! They are not officers, just citizens serving there community! Stay safe all ,teddy is out of here for now! Bye Bye Bye
What is the purpose of the new program? Are they going out with the police, not enough information. With all the crazy stuff going on throughout the country about our police departments, it would be nice to know what is going on.
Congratulations Jonathan. Your faith has you growing in many different directions. I’m glad to know such a great fellow Christian as you.
Congratulations, and The other Flomaton Chaplin should have been there with them. A.J.
Better watch out now driving through town, Hawkins will be pulling people over with his new flash badge. LOL!
