D'Iberville Police Chief Wayne Payne will travel to
Jackson on June 10 to receive an $85,009.58 Hurricane Katrina Grant from
the Department of Public Safety. This latest funding puts the total of
funding and contributions to the new D’Iberville Police Force at about
$400,000. The city's new police department is set to "go live" on October
1.
The D’Iberville Police Department is seeking
applications for police officers for it’s first city police force. Chief
Wayne Payne is hoping to fill the positions with experienced officers who
have graduated from a state certified basic police academy, who have a
current law enforcement state certification and who have one year of
service. Chief Payne said he will hire about 20 officers for the force.
Since D'Iberville's establishment in 1988, the
city has contracted with Harrison County for its police services.
