Governor Tate Reeves and Mississippi Department of Public Safety (DPS) Commissioner Sean Tindell today announced key hirings to the DPS leadership team. These included a new director of the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation and a new Chief and Assistant Chief of Capitol Police.
Maintaining public safety is perhaps the single most important role of government. And these individuals will be key players in preserving the security of Mississippians and the entire state.
“Preserving the safety and security of our communities is one of the most fundamental responsibilities of this office,” said Governor Tate Reeves. “Today, we add three more members to our team and further strengthen our state law enforcement community. Each of these individuals brings a tremendous wealth of experience to the job, and I have no doubt that with them on our team, regardless of how long it may take, we will be victorious in our efforts to reduce crime in Mississippi.”
Charles Haynes has been hired as the new director of the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation. Haynes has worked at DPS for over a decade. Furthermore, he’s served for over 15 years as a state trooper in the Mississippi Highway Patrol and was previously an officer with the Brandon Police Department. He holds a master’s degree in leadership from Belhaven University and is a graduate of the FBI National Academy at Quantico.
Bo Luckey has been hired as the new Chief of Capitol Police. He’s spent the last decade as a senior criminal investigator in the Mississippi Attorney General’s office, serving in both the Human Trafficking Unit and the Consumer Protection Division. He has also served in the Brandon Police Department, Rankin County Sheriff’s Department, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and the DEA. He has a law degree from Mississippi College.
Joshua Shipp has been hired as the new Assistant Chief of Capitol Police. He served as a Patrol Shift Lieutenant in the Oxford Police Department. Shipp also previously served in the U.S. Secret Service in Washington, DC, where he provided protection for the White House Complex and Vice President’s Residence. He holds a master’s degree in criminal justice from the University of Mississippi.
“I am excited for Chief Bo Luckey, Assistant Chief Joshua Shipp and Lt. Colonel Charles Haynes for these new opportunities,” said Commissioner Sean Tindell. “Each of these individuals brings years of experience to their new roles and will work hard to protect our citizens and our state.”

So he has never been a supervisor at any level in law enforcement. The assistant chief has been a Sgt for a short time. For the money that position pays I would think they could have gotten someone with supervisor and budget experience.
Oh for fffffffffs sakes!
Does Tater think this really will git-r-dun?
Cocktail hour must have started a little early today for you - you confused the "f" & "s" keys on your keyboard throughout this post. It's okay, it's after Noon so I'm having a libation too so it all makes sense.
@12:14
How new are you?
who is the outgoing chief. Did he retire? was he retired?
Juft realized I have fome typof in my comment at 12:13!
Let'f try it again:
Oh sor sssssssssssssf fakesf!
Doef Tater think thif really will git-r-dun?
Congrats Bo. For those that don’t know him, he will be a great asset. He has experience and qualifications. They may not be from JPD leadership, but is that a bad thing? He’s a no BS kind of guy.
Who in the hell wrote this article ?
It's a long way from Thomas Jefferson saying the purpose of government is to protect our God given inalienable rights, to Tate Reeves saying, "Maintaining public safety is perhaps the single most important role of government".
No, I'm not singling Reeves out, merely pointing out the thinking of politicians this day and hour. The supposed leadership, in all levels of government, are failing in the fundamental purpose of government.
well good!! Wish them the best. They will need it and all the prayers we can send.
Lol, no body else would touch it . So he got him a couple suuuuckahhhs.
This story needs Dirty Harry film clips!
are you having a fucking stroke?
That’s great! But still be advised to leave Jackson if you are able well before 5pm rush hour & stay gone until 10am, except for weekends when it’s best to not be in Jackson.
Did Joe Biden write this article?
Come one, give KF a break, as he is an alumnus of the JPS.
Oh Tindell and May found a way to pull their classmate Lucky up with them! Lucky has NO experience in Urban Crime like Jackson is fighting and neither does Shipp. Neither have any ties to Jackson but then again Tater is only pandering to the coast. The real winners are the bank accounts of Lucky and Shipp while the citizens of Jackson will continue to watch blood run in the street. Well played by the MC Law School Alumni (those admitted to the bar and those who are not)
@12:48 he is in over his head and they know it!
@1:06 - you cannot protect someones inalienable rights w/o public safety....not sure those aren't inextricably linked.
New Chief Bo Luckey sounds qualified to develop an investigative case against the Mayor. The Governor has to be embarrassed having Lil Choke not only ruin Jackson but also blame the State for Jackson's demise even as a $90M settlement to Jackson, streets, sewer, water, the Public Works director, public schools and JPD are all pissed away in favor of marxist day dreams by aforesaid Mayor.
Councilman Aaron Banks needs to be ready with a strategy to become Mayor because Bo Luckey may give our little tyrant mayor a persuasive opportunity to resign.
Chief Thor
The cap popo gone make ‘eerthing alright.
This has to be some kind of joke or could the good old boy system still be alive and well as it appears.
@4:23 Good Ole Boy System Tindell, May and Lucky all Buddies. They gone be the top law in town! Screw the citizens let’s helps our frand! I bet they make Andy a honorary something: a badge for his horse and some shined black boots with parade gloss on them! Tater Tott should be ashamed!
I wonder if deppity pheel approves?
I figger veteran auditor stickering is still too busy enjoying all his newly found free time to have an opinion on whether there should be some notes attached to this friends and family announcement from the tater!
@Krusatyr
not even in the scope of his duties !
@ 5:58...He has a law degree and qualified immunity. Plus he's on a mission from Gubner Tater!
It's enough to issue a warning:
HOLD MY BEER AND WATCH THIS!!!!!!!!!
@6:06 Law Degree but isn’t admitted to the MS Bar ? Kenneth Stokes has a law degree but hasn’t been admitted to the MS Bar either. So are you saying We can expect the same leadership? If so, Jackson can get worse. A piece of paper and experience from the city of Brandon and pushing paper at the AGs office does not an effective Cleaner of the Jackson Crime Wave make.! I give him 90 days before the media, other agencies and Fondren and Bellhaven eat him alive. He has been set up
To fail .
I’ve spent 30 years in law enforcement. I see the Governor and Commisoner making an effort to fix a problem that needs to be addressed. Who else has brought a fresh idea to the table? Give Capital PD a year to 18 months to show what they can accomplish before sending hate mail. I don’t personally know Charles Haynes but I’ve only heard positive comments about his work. Good luck to all 3. I sincerely hope you do well.
Meanwhile...let it not be overlooked nor forgotten that Tater sent word that he needed the head of DWFP to go to the house and he left later that same week. No word on his replacement?
The Parks leg of DWFP long ago turned to shit under the watchful eye of the prior Agency Head and his do-nothing three commissioners. If Tater wants to gain any political traction out of this mess he better go ahead and announce somebody. And, PLEASE, no damned cowboy hats.
Charles Haynes is a quality individual. Good luck to him!
@7:12 Jackson doesn’t have 18 months to wait.
Sending best wishes to all three appointees. Bo Luckey will do a great job!
Former dog catcher for Brandon PD becomes Capitol Chief. Wow
8:04 - even though DWFP has nothing to do with this post, your comments are so off-base they deserve a response. The DWFP head was not sent to the house by Tater, but retired after having been there 30 years. He wanted to retire, and if he didn't the Governor doesn't have the authority to send him home - just ask Governor Musgrove who actually did try to do that some 20 years ago.
And the Governor doesn't get to hire the new director until a recommendation is made by the Commissioners; who conducted a nationwide search for a replacement. That search has just been completed with the results and recommendations now going to Tater. My bet is that you will get your desired 'quick appointment'..
