Troy Duaine Woodall
Incident
I worked for your Son, Lt. Les Woodall at the ABC Board (State Police). Les was one of the best supervisors I have ever worked for and an even better person. Behind his desk on the wall hung a picture of you and Alabama Governor Guy Hunt. In the picture he was handing you a large envelope that contained the executive order that “officially”established the Drug Unit for the state law enforcement in Alabama. Les was very proud of that and we all felt like we were part of history because he is your Son. He told me that you called him that morning and asked if he wanted to come along to help him look for marijuana “grows” in Crenshaw County. But he decided not to because he finally had a day off from work (he worked for Troy Police Department at the time). Your hard work and dedication at the ABC Board made him dedicate himself and he became one of the absolute best narcotic investigators that any of us ever had the honor and privilege to work with in our careers. Thank you for your service and for the things you instilled in your Son. He has touched so many lives as a law enforcement officer and as a leader to many of us. Rest in eternal peace Lt. Woodall, your legacy will always be remembered.

I served 1985 to 1993. You served too, before the badge - different uniform, same idea. You go where you are sent and you do not get to pick the call.
Lieutenant Woodall gave the Alabama Alcoholic Beverage Control Board 20 years.
Thank you for your service to the Montgomery community, and for your service before it. Gone but never to be forgotten.
Rest easy, brother.
