October 21, 2026
Chief Terry Scott’s Presentation was on Flock Safety cameras and their “proper use” in the City of Pascagoula and surrounding areas. Flock Safety cameras are “automated license plate readers”. The. cameras provide timely data that assists well-trained officers on the cameras to solve crimes and promote safety. The cameras are not used for automated traffic citations (speeding tickets).
Chief Terry Scott is a lifelong resident of the City of Pascagoula and joined the Pascagoula Police Reserves as an Officer in 1995. By 2000, Chief Scott decided to turn his passion for serving his community into his full-time career and transitioned from a Reserve Officer to a full-time Officer with the City of Pascagoula Police Department.
Over the past 26 years, Chief Scott has served with honor and integrity by following the simple principle of treating people with compassion and respect.
As a Field Training Officer, Chief Scott instilled this mindset into the young officers he trained and utilized this philosophy as a certified FBI Crisis Negotiator, where he ranked number one in his class and is also a Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) member.
In 2020, Chief Scott was promoted to the rank of Captain and assigned as the Director of Special Operations, where he oversaw the Traffic Division, Criminal Investigations Division, Canine Unit, and Task Force Officers.
In 2023, he was promoted to Chief of Police for the City of Pascagoula Police Department, where he continues to serve his community with compassion and respect while mentoring his young officers to do the same.
Thank you, Chief Terry Scott for your long-term service.
