🇺🇸 This Memorial Day, we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving our nation. Their courage and dedication will never be forgotten.

As families and friends gather this holiday weekend, we ask everyone to help keep our roads safe. Please buckle up, drive distraction-free, and never drive impaired. Whether alcohol, drugs, or prescription medication are involved, impaired driving puts everyone at risk.

Law Enforcement will be working throughout the holiday weekend to promote occupant safety and remove impaired drivers from our roadways.

✔️ Wear your seatbelt
✔️ Designate a sober driver
✔️ Slow down and stay alert
✔️ Arrive alive

Let’s honor the memory of our fallen heroes by protecting one another and making safety a priority this Memorial Day weekend.

What an unforgettable 30th Anniversary Conference for S.T.O.R.M.! This year’s conference was filled with top-tier educational classes focused on DUI Enforcement and Occupant safety. Members from across Mississippi came together to learn, share, and strengthen their commitment to saving lives on our roadways and that’s exactly what S.T.O.R.M. is all about!

We want to extend a sincere THANK YOU to everyone who attended and participated. Your dedication, professionalism, and passion are what make this organization so impactful.

A special highlight of the week was the STORM Occupant Safety and DUI Enforcement Awards Banquet, where we had the privilege of recognizing outstanding individuals for their service and commitment. We were also extremely proud to honor our three founders: Kevin Stark, Chuck Jenkins, and Mike Vick whose vision and leadership laid the foundation for 30 years of success.

If you’re not already a member, we encourage you to join us and be a part of this growing network of professionals making a difference every day. And if you attended this year; bring a colleague next year!

We’re already looking ahead and planning for an even bigger and better conference next year. We can’t wait to see you there!

LEGAL ALERT: Mississippi House Votes to Weaken DUI Law – in addition to making the ignition interlock discretionary, the bill also proposes to allow a CDL holder to obtain a nonadjudication on a DUI 1st offense (which is masking, prohibited & jeopardizes federal funding), and changes the definition of a DUI under subsection (a). See attached bill link. There is also a MADD link which will allow you to contact your lawmakers and urge them to not support this bill.
