Sheriffs meet in Biloxi for summer conference
Sheriffs from across the state are in Biloxi this week. They are attending the Mississippi Sheriffs’ Association Summer Conference.
Twice a year, the Mississippi Sheriffs’ Association offers classes and resources to sheriffs about current trends through these conferences.
There are also vendors set up, selling the latest law enforcement technology, uniforms, and more.
The subject matter at these conferences can change. Mississippi Sheriffs’ Association President Greg Pollan tells News 25 what they’re learning about this time. “This time of the year we always go over legislative updates because the session just ended a couple of months ago. We got a whole slew of new laws going into effect July 1. So, we need to make sure sheriffs are on the same page and understand what’s coming. And we always address mental health, it seems like, because that’s a battle for all of us.”
The conference will be meeting until June 10th.
