The mayor of Hanceville, Alabama has placed its entire police department on administrative leave, after a grand jury, said the department was “an ongoing threat to public safety.”

A grand jury recommended abolishing a small Alabama police department because of a “rampant culture of corruption” after charging five officers with a variety of crimes, officials announced Wednesday.

The small Alabama city of Hanceville, located about 45 miles north of Birmingham, placed its entire police force on administrative leave a day after the grand jury recommendation.

An Alabama police department has "recently operated as more of a criminal enterprise than a law enforcement agency," a grand jury wrote.
