Alabama Law Enforcement Agency

Director Chris Inabinett, who on May 1, 2021, was appointed Director of the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency’s State Bureau of Investigation, began his career in law enforcement in 1998 at the age of 18, when he was hired as a dispatcher for Florala Police Department. His father served in law enforcement for 35 years, which inspired Director Inabinett to follow in his father’s footsteps. During his early years, he served as a corrections officer and entered Southwest Alabama Police Academy in 2000.
