The Hattiesburg Police Department, in addition to eight local, statewide and regional law enforcement agencies, successfully arrested 19 known criminals and seized eight weapons through a joint effort this weekend.
“Random acts of violence will not be tolerated in our city and we are consistently addressing these issues, deploying all available resources to us at the local, state and federal levels,” said Chief Anthony Parker. “A lot of coordination and planning goes into an operation like this and we appreciate the cooperation of all agencies involved.”
The agencies involved include the Mississippi Department of Corrections; Federal Bureau of Investigation; Drug Enforcement Agency; Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms; Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics; Forrest County Sheriff’s Department; and the Forrest County District Attorney.
According to Chief Parker, Forrest County Sherriff’s Department also provided support to a subsequent detail which included an increase in manpower around the Highland Neighborhood area as an effort to curtail a series of auto burglaries that occurred last week.
