Summer safety starts now!

School is officially out, and the Mississippi heat has definitely made its grand entrance! As we all head outside to enjoy longer days, family time, and a little well-deserved fun, let’s keep safety at the top of our minds. Stay safe in the heat!

Whether you’re working hard, playing with the kids, or simply relaxing outdoors, take a few simple steps to stay cool and protected. Try to limit outdoor activities during the hottest parts of the day, keep plenty of water on hand, wear light and breathable clothing, and don’t forget the sunscreen.

Tonight, we celebrate a major milestone for the Rosa Fort High School Class of 2026 as they walk across the stage at graduation. We also celebrate the Tunica Academy Class of 2026 on their graduation on May 15, 2026.

Graduation is more than just a ceremony. It’s the result of years of hard work, dedication, perseverance, and growth. Each graduate has overcome challenges, created memories, and reached an accomplishment. This is a proud moment not only for you, but for your families, your teachers, and your entire community.

As you step into this next chapter, carry forward the lessons you’ve learned and the strength you’ve built along the way. The future is yours.

As we celebrate tonight, we also want to remind everyone to make safety a priority. Whether you’re traveling, celebrating with friends, or heading home, please be mindful, stay alert, and look out for one another so everyone can enjoy this special night safely.

Congratulations, Class of 2026!

We’ve recently received reports from residents regarding thefts occurring in neighborhoods across the county. Items such as bicycles are being taken from yards and carports, and in several cases, vehicles have been left unlocked and burglarized. Unfortunately, some of these incidents have also involved fi****ms being stolen from unsecured vehicles.

We understand the frustration and concern this causes... it’s upsetting. That’s why we’re asking our community to take a proactive approach in helping prevent these crimes.

We want to remind everyone that prevention starts at home. Please take a moment to secure your property:
-Lock your vehicles every time, even when parked at home
-Remove valuables from plain sight
-Never leave fi****ms unsecured inside a vehicle
-Secure bicycles and outdoor equipment

Our deputies are working diligently to investigate these incidents and increase patrols in affected areas. However, we cannot do this alone. We are asking all residents to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity. If you see someone or something that doesn’t look right, please contact us right away.
Call 911 in an emergency!
