Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police, along with City traffic engineers and the Citizens Office, are coordinating with the Chatham County Sheriff’s Office regarding funeral plans for the late Chatham County Sheriff Al St. Lawrence.
"Hundreds of sheriffs, police chiefs, law enforcement officers and dignitaries are expected to attend the funeral on Wednesday at 1 p.m. at St. John the Baptist Cathedral in downtown Savannah," says Michelle Gavin, community relations administrator for SCMPD.
