Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Having a dangerous situation that you need help with is never a situation that you want to be in. However, if you need the assistance of the police department, the person you are probably calling is Summer Honeycutt.

Honeycutt is tasked with dispatching Helena’s police officers to various locations across the city to help those in need of help, assisting on anything from car wrecks to domestic situations or even more severe cases.

Honeycutt has been working in Helena for two years, but lives in Alabaster and is a graduate of Thompson High School. She attended college at the University of Montevallo and was on the archery and shotgun team.

She enjoys getting to be an avenue of comfort and cooperation with those in need, but also enjoys how tight she is with her coworkers in a job that can be quite hectic.

“My favorite part about my job is helping everyone who calls into the Police Department,” Honeycutt said. “The best thing about working for Helena is the great relationship that you build with your coworkers. We are more a family than coworkers.”

Outside of work, Honeycutt loves being out and about with her dog Remi, going to the waterfall in the city to let him swim, have fun and play fetch.
