Lamar County creating 'crisis crisis stabilization unit' in Purvis
SUMMARY: The Mississippi collaborative response to mental health Act, signed into law in 2023, requires law enforcement agencies to receive crisis intervention training. Delaney Dukes reports on WD7 and Pine Grove Behavioral Health partnering to raise mental health awareness. With Crisis Intervention training, officers can identify and deescalate mental health crises, rather than automatically arresting individuals. Lamar County Sheriff Regal acknowledges increased awareness and plans to certify all officers in CIT. The establishment of a crisis stabilization unit in partnership with Forest County and Hattisburg is underway. This new approach aims to provide neutral, non-jail settings for those in crisis, benefiting the community. The Old National Guard building is set to be remodeled for this purpose, starting next month.

SUMMARY: Happy Sunday, Pine Belt! The weekend has been warm, but a cool-down is on the way. Some areas, like Laurel and Mosel, experienced brief rain showers, despite a less than 10% chance of rain. Hurricane Kirk is moving north and will soon lose its tropical status as it approaches Western Europe. Hurricane Lesle is expected to remain minimal, while Hurricane Milton in the Gulf is strengthening and poses a threat to Florida with potential damage midweek. Tonight will see comfortable mid-60s, leading to a beautiful, cooler week ahead in South Mississippi, aligning with October’s typical weather.
