History of the University of Southern Mississippi Police 部门
九游会国际 Police 部门 began as a one man operation in 1912 when the school first opened as Mississippi Normal College. 情况是这样的 for most businesses that employed them, the night watchman was assigned the duties of securing the campus buildings at night and keeping trespassers away. 第一个 person to hold that position was Reverend William Edwin Fail who was a civil war veteran 前哈蒂斯堡镇警长. Fail和他的妻子Sally住在九游会国际里 直到1928年去世. Fail就是在那天 resigned his post and shortly after moved to the Beauvoir in Biloxi, MS which was 内战老兵的退休之家.
Over the years numerous men were hired to fill the position and the number of night 守望者增加到两个. They were responsible for securing the buildings, giving assistance to students living in the dorms and running off anybody who had no business being 在财产上.
随着九游会国际人数的增加,巡逻人员日夜都得到了保证. 这就需要博士. William McCain to appoint retired FBI Agent, John Reiter (1953-1960), to start the 1953年在公共安全部门任职. 到那时,学校已经改了两次名字 现在是密西西比南方学院. 这不仅意味着雇佣更多的人,而且 granting them more authority in the commission of their duties such as detentions 违规者和开停车罚单. 局长也被赋予了同样的权力 as the chief of police and the officers could detain suspects for the authorities.
Soon after Reiter's retirement, Director Percy Nobles (1960-1962) and Patrol Chief Louis 金星 (1962-1965) took the reins and expanded both the personnel as well as 使用的设备. 设计了制服和徽章,并增加了职责 to more of an 执行 role as both the student body and crime dictated.
This would be carried on in an even bigger way by Security 威利·欧伯酋长 (1965-1980) who had served as a chief deputy at Forrest County Sheriff's Office and prior to that 是密西西比公路巡警. 在作为一名律师工作期间,奥布雷变得熟悉起来 with the training aspects of law 执行 and saw the growing need for firearms 在九游会国际里穿. 在校内和校外进行了多次辩论之后,奥布雷终于能够做到 1975年初武装他的军官. 此外,Oubre还能够获得用于交通的雷达 执行.
For fifteen years the department grew in size to include an assistant chief of police, 托马斯·米. 和一名调查员. 欧布雷甚至把他所获得的学位也写了出来 from the college in 1939 to good use by teaching classes on campus.
After Oubre retired the University of Southern Mississippi hired Chief of Police Maxwell Bromley (1980) who was the Assistant Director of the University of South Florida Police 部门. He was with USM for six months before returning to USF where he has been 自从.
After Bromley’s departure Chief of Police Howard Miller (1981-1992) was hired to take 整个部门. 在他任职期间,他扩大了业务和生产线 收取停车罚款. 此外,还向妇女提供警察护送 students after dark and the department acquired new vehicles for its patrols.
Miller retired in 1992 and was replaced by Acting Chief of Police, Jim Tullos (1992-1993). Tullos then left to go to work for the Forrest County Sheriff's Office. 他死于 此后不久心脏病发作.
Stepping into his father’s shoes, Chief of Police/Director Keith Oubre (1993-1998) 在图洛斯死后不久就被雇佣了. 这个部门的工作面貌焕然一新 cars with a new schematic which separated the department from the generic look, new 手枪、新制服和徽章.
Oubre was also responsible for spearheading the now closed Mississippi Police Corps 培训学院. This included 16 weeks of intense training and class studies that 是否优于基础训练学院.
This required balancing duties at both UPD as well as the police corps so in 1998 欧布雷离开了USM,专注于MPC.
While Oubre was the director of USM and Police Corps 塞西尔·威尔逊局长 was promoted 至警务处处长(1998-2000). 在那段时间里,威尔逊专注于社区事务 policing and utilized the bicycle patrol to create better community relations. He served for two years before taking over the 部门 of Parking Management as its 2000年总监.
In late 2000 Chief of Police Bob Hopkins (2000-2019) was promoted from his position 是UPD的副探长. 这个部门又一次看到了巡逻的变化 原理图和制服. 在霍普金斯的领导下,这个部门得到了 Commission on 认证 for Law Enforcement 机构 in 2005 and reached full 2009年评审.
During the course of his tenure, Hopkins increased the size of the department by adding one officer to each of the four shifts giving the campus community better police coverage 一天24小时. Communications was upgraded to a state-of-the-art dispatch to better 协助巡逻人员履行职责. 训练的强度和频率也随之增加 with the standards set forth by the Commission for 认证 of Law Enforcement 机构. More up to date equipment was purchase to meet the needs of the officers 并帮助他们履行职责.
Community relations was very important to Hopkins and as a result the Community Oriented 警察计划(C).O.P.P.)被开发出来. 在这个项目中,每个巡警都被分配 to a specific dorm, fraternity and sorority as the representative of the department. This allowed for open communications between the community and the university for UPD更好地服务于它.
In addition, a motors cycle 执行 unit was developed as part of the bike patrol. This unit was responsible for traffic 执行 and escorts of various kinds.
In July 2019 Jimmy "Rusty" Keyes was sworn in as the latest Chief of Police of the 南部小姐警察局. 当了探长之后,探长 Captain and Assistant-Chief of Police, Keyes was welcomed on board by the USM President, Dr. Rodney Bennett and the campus community to begin a new era of service to the University 南密西西比的学生,教职员工和学生团体.
Since its conception, the University of Southern Mississippi Police 部门 has grown not only in size and experience but it has grown with the changing times to become one of the best trained and equipped police agencies in the region.
