We place a high value on maintaining a strong state of training readiness and are fortunate to have subject-matter experts in a variety of specialized areas. Officer Potts recently demonstrated that same commitment to excellence by continuing to uphold our high standard of training readiness.

Instructors from our team are proud to be attending the 2026 Impaired Driving and Traffic Safety (IDTS) Conference in Anaheim,CA. IDTS is the largest training conference for Drug Recognition Experts and Traffic Safety Professionals. Attendees from around the world gather to share knowledge about effective and proven approaches for improving road safety, the latest science on alcohol and drug impaired driving enforcement, how technology can be leveraged to make communities safer, and how agencies can use traffic safety education to engage and build trust with their communities. The knowledge obtained from these classes will be brought back and implemented not only to our program, but also; to the agencies represented here by our adjunct Instructors.

We are grateful for this extraordinary opportunity & thank our Instructors for their willingness to take time away from their families & life to improve their skills and abilities, as well as; to benefit the program as a whole!

A special ‘Thank You’ to our MS Attorney General’s Office Traffic Safety Resource Prosecutor (TSRP) Ms.Molly Miller for taking the photo for us!

What an amazing pre-semester departmental meeting! We started with the promotion of Sergeant Shy Cantrell, followed by Life Saving Awards presented to Sergeant Sanford and Officer Dollar and finished with a Letter of Recognition for one of our dispatchers, Bethany. We are blessed with some tremendous public servants and look forward to the fall semester!
