WHAT makes him think that other jurisdictions can or would even want to come to the Burg to help with the crime. IT ISN'T other jurisdictions place to take care of the Burg.

After all, according to the mayor and the chief, crime is up all over...I would imagine then that all the other departments have their hands full taking care of their business...THEY (Dupree & Wynn) NEED TO TAKE CARE OF OURS IMHO! Enuf of passing the buck!

DuPree did not expand on details of what police are doing, other than to say he and other Pine Belt mayors are working on a plan that would allow police officers from other jurisdictions to come in and assist an understaffed Hattiesburg Police Department.

“This is not just a Hattiesburg problem,” DuPree said. “This is a regional problem.”So if everyone else has the same problem we do, how in the hell are they going to be able to lend a hand since they're understaffed too? Oh, they aren't understaffed? THEN IT'S NOT A REGIONAL PROBLEM, IT'S A HATTIESBURG PROBLEM!!!!! IT'S A DAVID WYNN PROBLEM!!!!

I don't think Dupree thought this one out... I mean, if Fairley and his crew get arrested by LCSD or FCSD or USMPD, are they going to get the same kidgloves they get from HPD? My, my... look for the 'you're harrassing me' rehtoric to get turned into the red. Really, that's the only leg Dupree has left to stand on, and he's knocking it out from under himself.

Yeah, that was a good move to stop gang violence. Just tell them to leave, that's the ticket.

We need Chuck Norris to come into town. He could fix this mess with one roundhouse kick.

“This is not just a Hattiesburg problem,” DuPree said. “This is a regional problem.”

i haven't heard that USM or Lamar County or Purvis, lumberton, laurel, jones county, forrest county, or even columbia had a drive by in the last few days....

WTF IS THIS IDIOT THINKING? oh wait, he went to jackson state to get a PHD on how to run down a city...i forgot....

maybe it is finally time to have a march on city hall and oust the ba$tard

That we better slack off on all the drive-bys for a few days. lol. Maybe he should call another meeting with the gangs and ask them to stop, AGAIN.

two reasons why he probably isn't:

1) can't read period since his head is shoved too far up his and kenny's a$$

2) he's out of town, and too dumb to realize that the internet can be accessed anywhere in the world......

From the Hattiesburg American story ...

DuPree did not expand on details of what police are doing, other than to say he and other Pine Belt mayors are working on a plan that would allow police officers from other jurisdictions to come in and assist an understaffed Hattiesburg Police Department.
Look, folks. It a little convoluted but a brilliant plan.

Poor police department management made a bunch of officers leave in frustration, disgust, and whatever. As a result the police department is seriously understaffed and inexperienced.

These highly effective and well trained officers now work for all of the surrounding communities and are on some other payroll ... but they really miss working in Hattiesburg. :(

DuPree is gonna give 'em a change to slip back into Hattiesburg for the most serious and dangerous of crimes, not have to work for Wynn, remain on someone else's payroll, and not get the credit when the Hattiesburg situation improves. :confused:

The "regional" crime problem will be solved, Hattiesburg (the real crime source) will get the credit, it won't cost the city anything ... and life moves on. Can't understand why all of the adjacent communities and the officers won't jump right on this one. Well conceived plan. :smt118

I was thinking the same thing. Most that leaft are working other agencies surrounding Hattiesburg. The officers at other agencies that never worked for Hattiesburg has heard horror stories of the 'burg.

Yea this sounds like a recipe for success.

Yea right

I don't think it was the PhD thing, carsalesguy. It was more likely one of those break-out sessions at a national conference for mayors or some such. The good mayor has attended several. The session description was probably something like ...


How to blame surrounding areas for your problems - it's a regional thing.
How to get the problem solved without costing your city anything - using the resources of others.
How to make sure the folks you are using to solve your problem are well trained - run off your good folks and have them hired by surrounding communities.
How to take credit for solving the problem - creative statistics reporting.


Just a thought. :smt118

If He has all the surrounding areas helping why were they not there with him showing their support. Did he name names ? Normally when groups work together they all show up for the press conference.

I wonder why he thinks the other departments will go for his scatter-brained idea in the first place? I would think that if the other departments officers "really" wanted to work for HPD they would have done come and signed up....they all know the dept. is just about depleted of officers..they also know what a jackass Wynn is and don't want to take his b.s.
Most of these guys have families and try to spend as much time as they can with them when off duty... they don't want to come here and be treated second class. I would also be interested in knowing if someone was actually stupid enuf to take this clown up on his proposal...would they be paid regular salary or overtime salary from HPD? After all they would actually be working OT since they had put in their time at their home department.
I think this is going to go by the wayside like his stupid proposal of "hiring" reserve officers to fill in...he didn't have any takers then and I doubt very seriously if he gets any with this idea either..he is just grasping at straws!

Normally when groups work together they all show up for the press conference.It probably went down like this: Every time Dupree went to a meeting or gathering of other mayors and etc., during small talk or when they were leaving, they all told him that if he needed anything to just ask. Dupree, not realizing this was just small talk and the things Southerners normally say to each other when leaving, took them seriously.

I'd love to hear their response to Dupree when he calls them asking for that favor. :smt118

why? it stinks like $hit in there....that's where it is piled the highest at....

wtf has come over dupree? while he was on the board of supervisors, he was a great man and a great leader. during the first election i believe i even supported him because i thought some of his ideas were awesome....

now i don't know what to think.....

then again, it doesn't matter what i think.....and according to the world of fairley, if your white, your not supposed to think because it oppresses the black man.......well if the black man isn't supressed, why didn't he build him and his congregation a new church rather than taking over the white man's leftovers (which, might i add, was in great condition and not painted baby blue....)

i wish i could get into his face and ask him wtf is his problem, and then ask wynn if i could scrape all the darn oil from his face so i could save some money on my next oil change while his is sitting there eating his chicken wings......

Looks like the black mayors convention didn't help. That is and has been a waste of money. He would have learned more if he would have went to the mayors convention held for ALL mayors-not just for mayors of color. Sorry but this subject irks the heck out of me still.

blah,blah,blah,blah, is what he said and Dupree thinks everything is hunky-dory and we all believe him. Action talks and b------- walks. I almost spelled it out. Oops, but I can smell it.

My FIL had an interesting take about the whole deal: he wasn't suprised Wynn would do something as stupid as appealing to gang leaders to stop the violence. He said that when you do this, you're giving the gang leaders power or recognizing the power they've alread wrestled away from the law abiding citizens and enforcers. We're at there mercy, and the head of our law enforcement has said as much by appealing to them. Why are they legitimizing them? Break them, don't kiss their ass.

I think you'd be surprised at the black support. People who support someone tend to continue to do so. It's the white community that has suddenly had a dose of what the black neighborhoods have put up with for ages, so their lives haven't changed in that respect. They see Dupree as one of their own who understands their plight. That's just my opinion though. It took a lot of black votes to elect and re-elect George Wallace Governor of Ala. so you never really know what someone is thinking.

i wonder how many ex-HPD officers now working in the surrounding cities will volunteer to come back to HPD and work on their days off. sounds like a great "mayor dupree plan" to me. what about the other readers? get you heads out of the sand and realize that these superb officers did not leave for no other reason than the chief and you, mayor. state another plan.

Here's an idea. . . how about having mayors from surrounding cities come to Hattiesburg to run City Hall on their days off?

Borrowing Chiefs and Mayors might be just the ticket.

However, the city doesn't need to borrow a Chief Administrative Officer. That position is not needed anyway. :)

Saying everyone else has the same problems doth not Make It So. Demonstrably, everyone else does not have the same problems. When was the last time people got all het up about crime in the county? either county?

Even in HBG, not everyone has the same problems. The problems seem to concentrate in those areas the mayor and chief have deliberately deprived of effective law enforcement, a basic function and responsibility of local government.

Their deliberate deprivation of that service has increased the risk of the good people living there and exposed them to crime. And never forget there are good people living in the worst neighborhoods. I remember riding through South Central and Watts in LA several years ago having a friend point out to me various locales that had fgured prominently in the Rodney King riots. Lots of the homes in the area were well cared for and showed the signs of people who worked hard to keep their homes, yards and lives in good order.
