Patrol Division

The Patrol Division consists of four teams of fully certified law enforcement officers who are responsible for patrolling all unincorporated areas of Harrison County. All patrol officers are uniformed and drive fully marked vehicles.

All patrol officers are required to be certified as Law Enforcement Officers by the Mississippi Board of Law Enforcement Officers Standards and Training before being allowed to perform unsupervised patrol duties. Under most circumstances, patrol officers come from the ranks of non-sworn positions within the Sheriff’s Department lateral transfers from other law enforcement agencies, or become eligible though the Harrison County Sheriff’s Office Civil Service Commission.
