The best evidence collected in these cases was from home and business security cameras. Local residents shared videos on social media and with law enforcement, which caused community involvement. We encourage residents to lock their car doors, hide valuable items located inside the car, and park in well-lit areas.
The Neshoba County Sheriff’s Office is soon to launch a Sheriff’s App that will allow local residents to partner with law enforcement and voluntarily register their home surveillance cameras. This lets the Sheriff’s Office know that cameras are in the area and could be used to help solve crimes in your neighborhood. The App will also have tip submission capability. The Neshoba County Sheriff’s Office will use this to continue to keep the community informed and up to date on the current events. If you have any information on crimes in Neshoba County, call the Sheriff at 601-656-1414.
