Columbus Police Department trains for upgraded report-writing system
SUMMARY: The Columbus Police Department in Mississippi is upgrading its technology with new software to unify reports and record-keeping. The software will enhance information sharing with E911, the District Attorney's Office, and the courts. Chief Joseph Daughtry highlighted the move as a step into the current century, consolidating multiple systems into one, and mentioned that the cloud-based system is secured at Mississippi State University. Officers will benefit from the potential to complete reports in the field with in-car computers, saving time and maintaining a visible presence in the community. The transition to the new system aims to commence soon for effective officer training.

Local sheriff informs drivers to celebrate Cinco de Mayo responsibly
SUMMARY: Cinco de Mayo is a day to celebrate Mexican heritage and culture, but law enforcement reminds people to drink responsibly to avoid alcohol poisoning. The day commemorates the Mexican army's victory over France in 1862, but in the US, it is often celebrated with Mexican food and drinks. Clay County Sheriff Eddie Scott emphasizes the importance of knowing one's limitations when drinking, especially during events like Cinco de Mayo. He urges people to have a designated driver, watch out for friends, or call a cab to prevent accidents and DUIs. Alcohol poisoning is a real danger, and Scott's officers are actively monitoring the roads for excessive drinking.
