The countdown to the last day to send in applications for Brewton police chief is coming to a close. The last day to send in applications is Monday, Aug. 22.
According to Brewton City Clerk John Angel, five applications are secured in a safe inside City Hall. Angel said that the first application arrived in the early morning hours of Aug. 10, the day after council members agreed on the job description.
