    Trooper John Harris died on May 28, 2021, while conducting a traffic stop on Highway 16. Trooper Harris’ son Coop honored his father's memory on the last day of school by wearing a Highway Patrol uniform. Continue to lift this family in prayer as we enter National Police Week.

    Fortunately for everyone involved the DeLorean wasn’t attempting to reach the 88 mph necessary to travel back in time however this K Troop Trooper did take the opportunity to check out a real neat car. You just never know what you will get to see working with MHP!

    We are committed to keeping our citizens and roadways safe! On February 1st, Troopers on I-22 in Itawamba County encountered a speeding vehicle and initiated a traffic stop. This stop resulted in the seizure of 120 pounds of marijuana from the vehicle. Great work!

    The Mississippi Highway Patrol Mustang made a cameo appearance with the @HailStateFB team’s elite speed unit. These WRs and DBs have been clocked at practice at 21+ mph. Outstanding work, Bulldogs! Good luck in your upcoming season! #EliteSpeed #PursuetheCall

    MHP bids farewell to an old friend the Ford Crown Victoria. Trooper Justin Poulos turns in the last car of the fleet. The “Crown Vic” has honorably served the Mississippi Highway Patrol for over 30 years and we hate to see her go. #CrownVic #TheWorkHorseoftheLawMan
