West Point Police Department moving towards better equipment
SUMMARY: The West Point Police Department has applied for a grant from the Mississippi Office of Highway Traffic Safety to improve equipment and ensure child safety in vehicles. The grant mandates that officers verify children are in the correct car seats based on age and increase police presence in specific areas to reduce traffic fatalities. Sergeant Detective Marvin Hughes emphasized that the initiative focuses on enhancing safety through speed enforcement and safety checkpoints, not on generating revenue for the city. The department’s initial grant request totals over $7,000.

SUMMARY: The National Park Service has announced the closure of Rocky Springs Campground and Mount Locust Inn grounds as Tropical Storm Francine approaches. Effective by sunset on September 10, 2024, these areas will close to ensure visitor safety. Motorists are urged to avoid the Natchez Trace Parkway and consider alternate routes, as heavy rain and strong winds may lead to downed trees. Safety is a priority, with delayed response times during severe weather. Both facilities are expected to reopen on September 13, 2024, unless significant damage occurs. For emergencies, visitors should dial 911 or call 1-800-300-Park.
