BILOXI, Mississippi — The Biloxi City Council has approved the appointment of Assistant Chief Chris DeBack as chief of police for the Biloxi Police Department, the city announced on its official Facebook page.
The post said Chief DeBack brings decades of dedication, leadership and service to the department and the Biloxi community. The appointment marks a leadership transition intended to continue the department’s focus on public safety, professionalism and community partnership.
The police chief oversees department operations, sets policy priorities and serves as the primary liaison between law enforcement and municipal officials.
