Community Outreach

Clinton Police Department is in the community and on your side.
We believe that communities are stronger when law enforcement agencies take a people-first, customer service approach to community outreach and engagement. In Clinton, MS, our police department has established several community outreach initiatives that reflect our dedication to protecting, serving, and engaging with the people we are called to help.

Grab a coffee, pull up a chair, and let’s enjoy some conversation.Businesses that are interested in hosting a Coffee with a Cop event are invited to contact Chief Ford Hayman at (601) 924-5252.

Lock it or Lose it
Lock it or Lose it+

The Clinton Police Department is encouraging residents to “LOL” (Lock It or Lose It) their cars and secure their valuables in order to prevent thefts through the holiday season.

Recent crime stats show continued reductions in auto burglaries from over 150 in 2013 to 80 in the most recent 12 months. Chief Hayman and Mayor Phil Fisher are championing the LOL (Lock it or Lose it) campaign as an important step in continuing the significant reduction in property crimes in the city.

Most vehicle break-ins and residential burglaries are crimes of opportunities and if a vehicle or building is locked, a criminal will usually move on. If residents actively participate in the Lock it or Lose it campaign, our community could potentially eliminate property crimes. Neighborhoods and businesses are invited to participate in the campaign as well. For more information on implementation of the campaign in your neighborhood or business, please contact Lt. Michael Kelly at 601-924-5252.

Internet Transaction Safe Zone
Internet Transaction Safe Zone+

The City of Clinton has set up an Internet Transaction Zone, a safe area just inside the lobby of the Clinton Police Department at 305 Monroe Street in Olde Towne Clinton where residents can arrange to meet up to exchange goods and payments. Video cameras record all transactions.

Residents are encouraged to alert CPD of their transaction by calling 601-924-5252. This will allow dispatch to be aware of your presence and the transaction. Residents may also request dispatch to run a VIN or title check on vehicle and boat transactions to ensure that there are not liens or issues with the title.

Neighborhood Night Out
Neighborhood Night Out+

NNO is an annual event hosted the first Tuesday in October designed to strengthen our communities by encouraging neighborhoods to engage in stronger relationships with each other and with their local law enforcement partners. Throughout the evening, NNO parties will be attended by city administration, police and fire to share updates and tips on building a safer and stronger neighborhood.

Please call Lt. Mike Kelly at 601-924-5252 to inquire if your event can be added to this year’s list. Thank you for your desire to make Clinton safer.
