Patrol
The Patrol Division is led by Captain Tim Hartfield.
Warrants/Process and Reserves Units also fall under Patrol. Each of these Units are a very vital part to help protect communities throughout Forrest County. These Divisions will professionally and reasonably enforce all lawful ordinances and laws of the State of Mississippi.
We are committed to protect and serve all citizens of Forrest County with respect and integrity. Our daily goals are to be proactive and visible in an effort to combat any criminal element that may threaten our wonderful communities and families. Visibility and partnerships are the biggest deterrent on crime.
The Forrest County Patrol Division looks forward to serving you and your families. We covet your prayers and support in these efforts.
Stay Safe and God Bless.
