Keeping Jackson and Byram, Mississippi Safe at the Same Time

Hinds County residents should now feel doubly safe since Sheriff McMillin may soon be keeping Jackson and Byram, Mississippi safe at the same time as he plays dual roles of sheriff and police chief.

Byram became an official city on June 16, 2009.  And now, by law, the city must have a police chief.  The Sheriff's Department already serves Byram.  therefore, it makes complete sense for McMillin to take over the role as acting police chief of Byram.  The city will still have to work out a budget and that isn't set to happen until 2010.  McMillin is happy to take on the extra work and isn't worried about the pay either.

McMillion has played dual roles before; acting as Jackson's sheriff and police chief back in 2007.  This gives him the experience he needs to do the job without concern.

Once McMillin takes over as chief, he will then swear in Hinds County deputies as city police officers until the City of Byram is ready to take the lead.  And watch out Byram drivers!  The first item on the chief's list is to start running a radar to catch all you longtime speeders. 

The City of Byram may be a small town, with just over 7,000 residents, but it has a rich heritage and is in a great location in the southeast.  There's also a lot to do, including sports activities, leisure activities, ample shopping, fine dining, ballet competitions and much needed solitude.
