HPD LOOKS TO CRACK DOWN ON DRUG CRIME
Hattiesburg Police Department is looking to crack down on
drug-related crime with a new unit.
The interdiction unit, which will start to work Saturday, is made up
of six police officers and one supervisor, who all already work for
HPD. Each officer already has been assigned an accompanying K-9 partner.
Lt. Dale Bounds, the unit's supervisor, said the team will be
beneficial to the growing city by taking more narcotics off the
streets. Combating narcotic distribution prevents other crimes from
occurring, Bounds said, adding that the unit's staff along with its
soon-to-arrive new equipment trucks will better help the department
combat crime.
