Mississippi Department of Public Safety (Official)

Welcome to the Mississippi Department of Public Safety’s Facebook Page. Our mission at the department is to make Mississippi a safer place by patrolling its roads and highways, keeping drugs off our stree and providing training and funds to law enforcement agencies across Mississippi.

But we do more than that. The department is made up of eight different offices and 1200 state employees dedicated to the safety of our fellow Mississippians. Some of these offices like the Mississippi Highway Patrol or driver service’s bureaus are more familiar to you than others, but they all provide a valuable asset that improves the quality of life for residents.

Under the DPS umbrella are offices like the State Crime Lab and State Medical Examiner’s Office, the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation, and the Mississippi Department of Homeland Security.

Thank you for visiting and for your interest in the Mississippi Department of Public Safety. I encourage you to contact us should you have any questions about the work we provide for the great state of Mississippi.
