Biloxi police serve the city of Biloxi on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, providing patrol, investigative and community policing services. Messages recognizing senior leaders often signal promotions, appointments, retirements or other notable milestones and can affect departmental priorities and community relations.

The chief and assistant chief typically set policy, manage day-to-day operations and oversee community engagement and public safety initiatives. Local residents often look to department leadership for direction on crime prevention and emergency response.

Details beyond the brief social media post were not included. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
