The resolution highlights the collaborative efforts of the Alabama State Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA), the Alabama Attorney General's Office, local law enforcement, and federal agencies in establishing the Metro Area Crime Suppression Unit (MACS) to combat crime in Montgomery and surrounding areas. Since its formation in June 2024, MACS has achieved significant results, including conducting over 2,100 traffic stops, serving nearly 600 arrest warrants, and making 237 arrests. The unit has also recovered 47 stolen vehicles, seized 166 firearms, and made 45 drug seizures, including a notable fentanyl seizure that could have been lethal to over 5,000 individuals.

The resolution expresses support for additional funding to expand MACS's operations beyond Montgomery, as proposed by Governor Ivey in her budget with a request for $3 million in recurring annual appropriations. This funding would enable MACS to hire 10 more personnel and enhance its law enforcement capabilities throughout the state. The legislature encourages these appropriations, recognizing the positive impact of MACS on public safety and the ongoing efforts to reduce crime in Alabama.
