Mississippi Capitol Police show off fleet in Facebook Reel

A recent Facebook Reel showcases vehicles used by Capitol Police in Mississippi, drawing online attention to the agency’s fleet and its role in public safety.

The short video, shared as part of a series called “This & That,” highlights several of the department’s vehicles and asks viewers which one they would choose. The post included hashtags such as #ThisandThat, #Mississippi, #PublicSafety and #lawenforcement.

Capitol police agencies typically provide security for state capitol buildings, protect elected officials and staff, and manage public-safety operations on government properties. Displaying equipment and vehicles on social media is a common way for law enforcement agencies to engage the public, increase transparency and boost community awareness of resources and capabilities.

Officials did not provide additional details about the vehicles or the purpose of the Reel in the post. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
