SAVANNAH, GA (June 12, 2016): Tonight Assistant Chief of Police Julie Tolbert spoke at the candlelight vigil in Forsyth Park to honor the victims of the Orlando shooting.
“The SCMPD’s prayers are with the City of Orlando and specifically the families of those who lost loved ones in this hideous act of violence,” said Asst.

We need you to help the police keep us all safe.”
