Description

Tuscaloosa County Sheriff Nathan Chism was elected to office in 1954 and re-elected three consecutive terms (a record at the time).
The County Sheriff’s Department underwent vast changes under Chism’s control. More hours were devoted to daily patrol and civil actions were handled in-house, right down to jury summons.
