LAMAR JOINS NEW DRUG PROGRAM
The way law enforcement fights the state's drug problem is changing,
and for the better, according to Lamar County Sheriff Danny Rigel.
The Lamar County Sheriff's Department is part of the first pilot
program in the state to increase manpower without increasing budgets
in a cooperative effort to catch drug offenders. The department has
partnered with the Pearl River County Sheriff's Department and the
Mis-sissippi Bureau of Narcotics to create the six-officer Pine Belt
Narcotics Enforcement Team.
"To me, it's an innovative approach to facing the drug problem," Rigel
said Friday. "It's a win-win for everybody."
