Central Precinct

CAPTAINErnest Treubig

Welcome to Central Precinct

The Central Precinct is located in the heart of downtown Mobile at 55 N. Water Street and is commanded by Captain Ernest Treubig. The precinct was established in 1992 and expanded March 2019 to accommodate the growth of the downtown area. Central Precinct serves as a specialized patrol precinct with specialized tactics and equipment. 

Downtown Mobile is comprised of a central business district, an entertainment district, city parks and several residential areas. Events are held nearly every day throughout the year including conventions, concerts, art shows, markets and, of course, the largest celebration in Mobile – Mardi Gras.

With the expanded precinct, businesses and residents have community policing from officers on horseback, bike, foot and Segway patrols.

In 2020, officers responded to 10,324 calls for service. 

About the Central Precinct Commander

I am an Air Force brat who spent my first 17 years being stationed in various air bases in the U.S., England, and Germany.  I graduated from Foley H.S. in 1992, then attended the University of Alabama from 1992-1996 with a degree in Psych and English. 

Upon graduation, I became an Alabama State Trooper, serving in the Mobile post until 2001. I joined MPD at that time, and after 2 years in patrol, I was assigned to the Traffic Safety Unit as a Traffic Homicide Investigator, making Sergeant there in 2008. I then transferred to the Jaguar Unit in 2009, and then to the Training Unit before going back to Patrol in 2015. In 2016, I made Lieutenant and was stationed at Central Events in 2017-2018, then onto Planning Unit, PropertyUnit, Communications, back to Patrol, and now here in Central Events as Captain.
