Victor Mason issued the following press release:
VICTOR MASON QUALIFIES FOR HINDS COUNTY SHERIFF
(Jackson,
Miss.) Former Hinds County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) Captain Victor Mason today
qualified to run for Sheriff of Hinds County. He was greeted by a crowd of
cheering supporters as he entered the Hinds County Courthouse to qualify.
A native
of Hinds County, Victor Mason has been a law enforcement officer for 32 years. A
2010 graduate of the FBI National Academy at Quantico, Va., he began his career
at the Jackson Police Department. Mason spent 18 years at the HCSO, where he
was Captain of the Juvenile Protection Unit, and served on the U.S. Secret
Service Taskforce and the FBI Joint Terrorism Taskforce. Most recently, Mason worked
as an investigator for the Mississippi Attorney General’s Office Public Integrity
Division.
“The Hinds County Sheriff’s Office needs effective
new leadership,” said Mason. “Our county jails have been terribly mismanaged,
among many other problems in the current administration. As your next sheriff I
will make our jails safe and secure once again.“
One of Mason’s top priorities
is staffing the HCSO with top law enforcement professionals. “Upon taking office
the current sheriff fired or demoted more than a hundred veteran deputies,” he
noted, “including those who had a long record of successfully managing our
jails. The results have been disastrous.”
Mason
proposes creation of an
HCSO Violent Crime Unit, comprised of deputized officers from all police
departments and federal law enforcement agencies within the county. According
to Mason, HCSO Violent Crime Unit officers will serve warrants, conduct highway
interdiction, and operate as a rapid response unit during the commission of
violent crimes.
Mason pledged: “I’ll put hardcore
criminals on notice there’s no safe haven for them in Hinds County.”

Hope he wins.
i pray Victor Mason is elected sheriff.
Never heard of him. Post his photo so we might know who he is. Might even recognize him.
I don't know him but he wins. I mean who can actually vote for Lewis with a clear conscience?
He was fired by McMillin for his actions. I agree with Mac, get rid of him. Mac only punished Lewis with a demotion.
Amen, 9:02.
He should win but this is Hinds county.
What is his position on billboards?
Victor should win this election will all the support I have heard within several conversations, along with some people in very stable positions. I will get some donations going for his campaign. He has always been a man of his word. Unlike the current administration there has been a lot of stuff that was a bit shady.
9:40 I thought Mac fired him because he was going to run against him. That was my understanding as to what Nick Clark told me. This is not for the sake of argument just trying to get the facts straight for myself.
Man of his word? Ask the FBI if that's true. He got run off from there for misuse of government funds. Let's not forget Mac fired him.
Mac did fire him for egotistical thin skin reasons only.
Pretty sure if he misappropriated federal funds he would be a felon by now.
Best candidate for sheriff by far. Victor Mason has my vote and my donation.
Victor Mason would be a good change but unfortunately some of the same voters who vote for Kenny Stokes & his wife fully back & back the present sheriff.
Needs a map,strong light and instructions to investigate his way out of a paper bag. That is not hearsay, by the way.
I am not saying that he is a bad guy, just not a LEO who has what it takes to be a competent sheriff.
The best pick of a poor litter....
He is a sharp dressed man. I will bet that all HCSO employees adhere to a strict dress code.
He is the best candidate a man of his word I know h personally he is strictly buisness and hinds county will be safer he will put the deputies back where they belong not in jackson
Um...Jackson is in the big assed center of Hinds County. The sheriff is the chief LEO of Hinds County.
