Meet Your Recruiter

Hi, my name is James Pratt and I am a recruiter for the Huntsville Police Department as well as a member of HPD SWAT. I was a member of the 54th Basic Academy session in 2015. Since then, I have spent nine years as a patrol officer for the department. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of building strong relationships while gaining invaluable knowledge and experience. In addition to my patrol duties, I have served in various auxiliary roles, including Field Training Officer, member of the Crisis Intervention Team, Crisis Negotiation Response Team and SWAT. With this wealth of experience, my goal is now to assist prospective applicants by providing them with the information and guidance needed to make informed decisions and prepare for successful careers with HPD.
