Situated in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountain Range, south of Cheaha State Park, Ashland and its citizens possess the feeling of closeness and family. The City of Ashland was founded in 1871, when it became necessary for the counties of Talladega and Randolph to split, creating a new county and the need for a county seat. Ashland was chosen for this location and has served as the county seat since that time. This led to the development of Ashland Police Department. 

​

Through history, Ashland Police Department has been proud to serve and protect the citizens of Ashland and have made major milestones throughout the years to continue to provide the best services for its citizens. The police department was located on the square until 2018 where it was relocated to a new facility in what was once (insert bank here). The department continues to increase its advancements in technology and through many grants and work done by Chief Joseph Stanford the department has some of the more advanced services used in the entire county.
