SUMMARY: The Department of Public Safety (DPS) is planning to move from its current building on Woodrow Wilson, which has severe foundation issues, asbestos problems, and gas leaks, to a new site in Pearl. The existing headquarters, built in 1976, needs to be demolished, and the land may be sold for redevelopment. The new DPS site will consolidate all divisions under one roof for the first time, with costs now between $65 and $70 million. The timeline for the new building's completion has shifted to late summer or early fall of 2025. The state is considering commercial development for the vacated site.

SUMMARY: If traveling across Mississippi this weekend, expect increased police presence and checkpoints. A popular attraction visited the National Park in Vicksburg: Douglas Baum and his family's camels, sharing the story of ‘Old Douglas,' the only camel to die in the Civil War. July 4th marked the siege of Vicksburg's end, where ‘Old Douglas' served the 43rd Mississippi Infantry by carrying their regimental band. The reenactment aims to engage young people in history. Portraying ‘Old Douglas' are 12-year-old Jadid and 15-month-old Saubr, appearing at the Vicksburg National Military Park on Saturday and Sunday at 9 a.m.
