SUMMARY: National Police Week continued in Hattisburg with the police department taking time each day to remember fallen officers and engage with the community. They started the day with a “coffee with a cop” event where the community was invited to have coffee with officers, fostering a personal connection beyond official interactions. The department aims to help residents see officers as individuals before they may need their help. Those who missed the event can show support by wearing blue the next day in honor of law enforcement. These initiatives aim to strengthen community-police relations and honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.

SUMMARY: Cyberstalking is a serious crime that involves using technology to harass, threaten, and intimidate someone, causing fear and emotional stress. In Mississippi, it is a felony, and police actively pursue offenders, like Teresa Woods, recently arrested for using fake social media accounts to harass victims. Blocking numbers and profiles, reporting to police, and obtaining no-contact orders are vital steps to stop cyberstalking. Victim services provide emergency safety plans and support, especially if harassment escalates. Young adults, particularly women aged 18-29, are most at risk, but anyone can be targeted. Documenting harassment is crucial for protection and legal action.

Cyberstalking is a form of stalking that involves the use of technology, like messaging apps, social media and email.
