We could not have said it better ourselves.

There were countless hours of hard work across multiple agencies to put this case together. Everyone’s willingness to come together for the purpose of obtaining justice for Lauren Johansen finally paid off today with a guilty plea to capital murder. Bricen Rivers was given a life sentence without the possibility of parole.

Thank you to each person that had a hand in this case. Your hard work is appreciated more than you know!

Today, Bricen Rivers pled guilty to capital murder and received a sentence of LIFE without the possibility of parole for the murder of Lauren Johansen.

This was a truly heinous crime where the dangers of domestic violence cannot be denied. Obtaining justice for Lauren is something that my trial partner, Bryan Buckley, and I have worked on extensively for over two years.

Results like this do not happen without substantial collaboration. I would like to personally and publicly thank all of the following agencies for their assistance in obtaining justice for Lauren Johansen:

Lin Carter District Attorney
Crosby Parker, District Attorney
Attorney General Lynn Fitch
Forrest County Sheriff's Office
Hattiesburg Police Department (Official)
Harrison County Sheriff's Office

Finally, please do not forget the family of Lauren Johansen. Let’s not forget that they received the ultimate sentence today-life without Lauren in it. Please remember them in your prayers as they continue to heal.

Please join us in celebrating our recent Employee of the Month recipients, Mary Katharine Sullivan!

MK was nominated for this award due to her willingness to always help and make herself available. If you have seen her at yoga or baseball tournaments, you may have seen her whip out a laptop from time to time. That is because she stays as prepared as possible!

Recently, she helped in identifying the suspect vehicle responsible for stealing a lawn mower, side by side, and trailer. This resulted in the equipment being quickly and successfully recovered.

Thank you for all your hard work, MK, and congratulations!

Happy birthday to Sheriff Haley!!

We thought we would mix it up this year by going back just a few years (he’s only 35, guys) to see our Sheriff as just a young whippersnapper.

We hope you have the best day!

Today, we are taking a moment to both remember and honor the life of Deputy Robert Immel who served with our agency for almost twenty years.

Deputy Immel dedicated much of his career to serving not only our community but others as well. Deputy Immel began his career in the Harrison County Adult Detention Center until he shifted his career to working as a Patrol Deputy. Deputy Immel also served on the K9 Unit in multiple capacities during his career. He was also a very involved member of our Cooking Team and Disaster Relief Team.

Although he represented our badge well, behind that badge was a person that was a colleague, friend, and family member to others. The memories we shared with him we will hold close to our hearts. Rest easy Deputy Immel, and you will certainly be missed.
