Thank you to Governor Tate Reeves and First Lady of Mississippi Elee Reeves for hosting Cadet Class 70. With graduation right around the corner, 54 cadets remain and are preparing to take the next step in serving the people of Mississippi.

I am proud of their dedication, discipline, and commitment to public safety.

I also want to say “thank you” to the TAC officers who have dedicated countless hours to training and pushing these cadets every step of the way. Your leadership and commitment are helping shape the next generation of law enforcement.

Our MDPS teams were honored to take part in the 16th Annual Fallen Officer Candlelight Vigil alongside Attorney General Lynn Fitch, the Chiefs of Police Association, and Sheriffs’ Association as we honored the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to others.

We will always stand behind our brothers and sisters in blue and honor the sacrifices they and their families have made in service to our communities across the state. 💙

Yesterday was a heavy day as we honored our fallen heroes at the Mississippi Department of Public Safety’s Memorial Ceremony and again at the Mississippi Association of Chiefs of Police and Sheriff’s Association’s Fallen Officer Candlelight Vigil with Attorney General Lynn Fitch.

These men and women ran toward danger when most would run away. They wore the badge with courage, served with honor, and gave everything to protect the people of Mississippi.

Their sacrifice will never be forgotten. We honor their service, remember their names, and continue praying for the families and brothers and sisters in blue who carry their legacy forward every day.

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God.” — Matthew 5:9
