SUMMARY: The Columbus Police Department in Mississippi has enhanced its recruitment efforts and departmental image. Police Chief Joseph Daughtry noted that many officers previously lacked enough uniforms for a workweek, with clothing often torn, mismatched, and coming apart at the seams. The department has now provided each officer with a full set of modern, comfortable uniforms, improving morale and appearance. Daughtry expressed pride in this upgrade, with plans for new gear, patrol vehicle equipment, and cameras in the coming months. This rejuvenation aims to restore pride within the Columbus Police Department. For continuous updates, follow WCBI on Facebook and X.
