The county’s Helpful Links page also includes a “State Departments” section. Agencies listed there include the Alabama Department of Revenue, the Alabama Department of Transportation, the Alabama Department of Commerce, and the Alabama Tourism Department. On the workforce and economic development side, the page also points to AIDT – Workforce Training and the Economic Development Partnership of Alabama, which can be useful if you’re looking for training pathways or broader employment-related resources.

1. Start with the county’s “Helpful Links” page - it’s where Tallapoosa County groups its Community Partners and State Departments in one place.
2. Pick the category that matches your need - local government (cities/towns), schools (city or county boards of education), or business/workforce resources.
3. Click through to the partner you need - use the partner’s official contact options to get the most current information.
4. Call before you go - ask about hours, required documents, and whether you need an appointment.
5. Be direct about your situation - if you’re seeking help connected to a loved one being incarcerated, ask whether the program serves families in that position and what alternatives they recommend.
6. Use workforce contacts for employment help - if you need training or job-related direction, start with AIDT – Workforce Training and the Economic Development Partnership of Alabama.

Think of the county’s list as a directory, not a promise that every office provides specialized help for families dealing with incarceration. Services, eligibility rules, and hours vary by organization, so your fastest path is usually a quick phone call to confirm what they can do and what they need from you.
