Congratulations Colonel !

Good luck and keep those bad guys away!!

Here we go!!!! Y’all are about to see what’s left of MHP turn into the likes of JPD, Meridian PD, Hattiesburg PD, etc. This very moment there are numerous Troopers turning in their retirement paperwork. Tate, you lied to all of us! You may as well go ahead and shut MHP down. To all of you Roadmen out there, I’m truly sorry. I hate this for y’all. Get your time, if possible and get gone! Y’all just thought y’all have seen sumbitches get fired the past couple years....y’all are about to see Troopers ran off by the dozen! Good luck, guys. Good luck, Gomer Ginn, cowards must be the way to go these days!

Oh yes what a fabulous shitshow. Fits right in with the rest of this God forsaken clown world. They should've made Redfruit the MHP boss.

Good Man! He is fair. Should have been appointed several years ago.

Love the comments here - damn near proves beyond a doubt the historical (except for maybe under Musgrove when he put an absolutely inappropriate person in charge of DPS) response of the employees of DPS. There are two factions - oft times divided by Troops: those that are totally supportive of those in charge and those that think the world will come to an end because of who is in charge.

Can't ever please them all - but that's not necessarily bad.

What we really need is someone who will actually run the department as it should be. Hopefully Ginn is that guy; the last two certainly weren't. Time will tell - but during that time, we will hear constant bitching from the faction that is "out" telling us how terrible are those that are "in".

Apparently MHP hires either professionals or whining backstabbing bitter old men.

He used to be fair before he turned into a Liar. Say goodbye to the great MHP. He will finish the work Marsha started.

I hope he runs off the one that offered a b__w job for some cookies. Actually, she ate the cookies and then lied about it, promising the oral part for the silence of someone with knowledge of her cookie theft.

Maybe he can do something about his employees doing 100+ on the interstate with no lights on.

They need to follow the law too if they want to enforce the law.

State’s primary law enforcement agency??

I nearly spit my bourbon out when I read that bullshit...

A well deserved appointment. I’m glad something good is happening in 2020. Accountability will build morale and weed out some that are not performing to standards. As I read the first few posts it seems as if Col Ginn has already had to hold some employees accountable. We are praying for you as a state because if you fail, we all fail.

One of the best men I know.

Well Troopers y’all are “F”. There’s no other way to say it other than there is one of the biggest fake ass people you could ever appoint to a lead position. Tator Tot, your a scum bag worthless person for allowing the best agency in the world to finally lose all its respect, which I mean everyone hates your coward lying pus ass for not standing to your word about the state flag. So frat boy Tindell, have fun getting your balls busted putting yourself in the middle of the coward crew. MHP is going in the box with the state flag men and people will now have there opportunity to run all over troopers because they will know if the troopers attempt to do their jobs, well let’s just say your fired. That will come from the weak Gomer Ginn who is everything but a respected person. Non confrontational coward pus!! I’m glad I don’t ever have to deal with any of those pecker heads and remember Gomer, karma is a bitch. So I’ll end with this, Gomer Ginn make sure you keep your fake self hidden behind your bible because the truth will come out when you take that BJ from one of your troopers that little doe boy Gillard took. Gillard says she doesn’t even use hands. Screw everyone of y’all and good writtens. Troopers I’m really sorry for what’s about to come for your future. Stay strong!!

Based on how mad the current troopers are (6:12) this is probably just the change we need. MHP is in as much need of reform as any agency in this state.

6:12 and 10:29 obviously the same person. Either the poster or her husband no doubt has multiple disciplinary notes in his personnel file and knows we're talking about thin ice and limited time.

Someone mentioned an appointment by Musgrove. Please never let us forget the 'woman' lawyer Mabus put in charge who had never worn a uniform or supervised anybody in her life.

The number of employed, bitter, loud-mouth malcontents amazes me every time the subject of MHP comes up on this blog. Maybe that's a symptom of steroid use, I have no idea.

Hope the new Colonel will require all troopers to order uniform shirts that fit rather than two sizes too small.

“the best agency in the world to finally lose all its respect”....Wow, just wow. You say so much but know so little. It appears true that the hat does cuts off the blood flow to your brain.

Good Christian man who will do the right thing! The only people who are upset about this appointment are those who have a guilty conscience about how lazy or corrupt they are and know going forward they will be held accountable for their actions. Colonel Ginn and a strong support staff is exactly what MHP needs at this time. Good luck Colonel!

The state could save a lot of money by funding a couple of extra traffic cops for each large city and shutting MHP down.

10:29 settle down Francis. “Best agency in the world” is pompous statement. This may be true as long as you are in your academy doing push ups or standing with your mouth shut and getting every penny out of your male growth hormone by having your shirt sleeves taken up. There are some really good people in that agency and then there are individuals like 10:29. Get them to open their mouth or better yet write a complete sentence and the facade falls apart. The days of getting whatever you want by letting legislators drive up and down the roads like you do are over. Try actually working on the days you are scheduled to instead of sitting at the gym, cafe, or running personal errands and get off the laptop/cellphone the taxpayers give you. You’re the reason the people will demand that MHP/MBI be restructured and your “because I went to Trooper School” fat retirement system be done away with.

I don’t know this ma. What is wrong with him?

12:12 - In a closed society, like this one, general havoc and upheaval results any time there is a change or promotion anywhere up and down the organizational rank structure. Being able to post anonymously allows all of the malcontents (and the spouses of those who can't type or spell) to jump up and town on the keyboard and revamp the organization in 140 words.

Well one things for sure, Ginn won't be there much longer than gillard. So troopers, lay low as possible and wait on a real change. Best part is everyday you're getting your time in and getting closer to retirement. There's always going to be asshole leaders in the highway patrol. Thats with any job. Only ones who like Ginn are the ones he's taking care off. That's life. Just find a life outside of patrol and things won't bother you as much. MHP is not your life, its only where you work. If they fire you for BS, the hell with them. The pay isn't worth the headache anyway. And for the ass kisses, I don't have anything in my 201 file, but I see how Ginn and Gillard do troopers. So don't mistake my true statements for bitterness.

Troopers, have your attorneys on standby and document your asses off. Cross every I and dot every T. Limit your traffic stops to limit complaints because im telling you, if you make one small mistake, (even if its biting your nails while driving) its all over for you. Document guys and keep your attorney on speed dial. Attorneys are the only ones who can win the battle with MHP. They've done it many times. Document, document, document.

The public is innocent until proven guilty. Troopers are very guilty until proven almost innocent.

Is his deputy named Tonic? I'll see myself out.

@3:13, you forgot to add "white male" before trooper in your comment. Rules don't apply to black troopers. They can offer fellatio for stolen cookies and keep their job.

The degree of discontent, sniping, back-stabbing, bitterness and lack of camaraderie in this organization (judging from the posts) is alarming. The same degree of hatred and destruction exist in the posts every damned time this agency is the subject of discussion.

Somebody should have rooted this bunch of assholes out of the agency years ago and kept it from repopulating.

Man ole man......this is pitiful. Whining and bitching, kicking your feet. Y'all wonder why our children act the way they do. You should teach RESPECT AND HONOR and live by it. Teach by example. It's a damn shame. If I were the Colonel I would fire every single staff that posted on ANY social media on OUR CLOCK!! period. There is ALWAYS a way to get that done, trust me. so live up to what you signed up for. Be Safe. Happy 4th! Oh wait, Congratulations COLONEL Randy Ginn! Good luck and lead us back to greatness! Hence, no room for free loaders and cry babies! amen

Haha @ 7:13. You’re a real macho man! I’m guessing you’ve fought off a drunk, chased a stolen vehicle, told a mother her child was killed??? You have no idea, my friend. Ginn will lead this shit show right down the drain. The self righteous clown the Commissioner just put in charge is only going to make a once “great” agency worse than it is now. Write that down, because that’s the Gospel!! Commissioner Tindell, I hate that you inherited this bag of shit. You have no idea how dysfunctional the whole thing is. Tate gave you a shit sandwich with a side of go F yourself. There’s no loyalty, brotherhood, es-prit de corps, etc. Only cut throat, back stabbing, buddy f’n shit that goes on at MHP now. The good thing is, you picked the right pu**y for the job. A man that’s never had his hat knocked off by a drunk or rolled down the shoulder of a highway fighting some asshole that didn’t want to go to jail. I hate it for you real deal mfrs that are left. Y’all stand by to stand by. It’ll all be over with soon. Roadman Blue and Gray.

Why do people not like this man?

11:42 I find that most ppl who do not do their jobs do not respect authority of any kind. They don't like being questioned. They don't like being told what to do. I am praying we see MHP out on the highways like vultures! I want a noticeable difference on 55, 25, 20, 220. These roads are plum deadly! All uniformed officers need to get off desk duty and help us out here. With that said, Colonel Ginn is a man of integrity and will demand nothing less than respect and for ALL to bring their A game everyday!

There is more drama at DPS than at the Miss Mississippi pageant.
