2nd Grand Jury in a Row Suggest MPD Needs Training

This is the second time in a row that the Grand Jury has found that the Meridian Police Department Leadership provide training for officers. As seen above there is a critical need for additional training in the areas of investigation, report writing, interview and interrogation, collection and maintenance of evidence, and court room presentation.

I have requested an interview/ statement from the Leadership of MPD . Please see attached full page statement from the Grand Jury of Lauderdale County dated January 11th and Filed January 12th, 2023.
