Bill > SB2352

This bill amends existing Mississippi law to allow municipalities and county sheriffs' departments to enter into agreements with the school boards of private, nonprofit schools to provide law enforcement security services, in addition to public school districts. This means that local police departments and sheriff's offices can now contract with private schools to offer police protection, with the terms and reimbursement to be decided by both parties. The bill also clarifies that off-duty law enforcement officers hired by private schools for security can use their official uniforms and equipment, including vehicles, provided the school or its insurer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the employing jurisdiction.
