The Mississippi Department of Public Safety posted the Director of the Driver Services Bureau position on Facebook on January 25. Apparently the position did not require one to be...... a Trooper. Well, that didn't sit too well with someone.
The Commish jabbed back at Mr. Cunningham.
Well, Mr. Cunningham, about the moolah. Maybe you should look at Cruz and Fisher instead of the legislature. Remember when JJ reported DPS owed $7.4 million to NHTSA over the misuse of DUI grants? DPS repaid the money in full without a special appropriation from the legislature? Where do you think the money came from, Mr. Cunningham? They probably swept it from every department so they could keep it quiet.
Oh, and who is Mr. Cunningham? JJ submitted a public records request to DPS for his employment information. Guess where he used to work?

MHP is just a reflection of Mississippi and how it run and why we are 50th in everything good.
its still 1978 here ...
So, Mr. Cunningham is a retired employee of the agency and has made the rounds for decades. Let's hear it for the PERS Trooper Retirement Program. Sorry you didn't get a higher-four.
MHP is a joke. I know there must be some decent ones still there, but sheesh.
They have plummeted in respect points with so many.
The sense of entitlement, demands and misplaced anger is so childish. I suppose I should not be surprised.
Imagine being an MHP trooper and lacking any semblance of self-awareness.
If he was a DPS Staff Officer, that means he was a retired trooper reemployed as a civilian, and a highly paid on at that. It's z great gig I've you can get it. But he obviously couldn't keep it.
2:18 - If he had been 'reemployed', that would stop his state retirement.
6:11 - Wrong. MHP has its own retirement system separate from the standard state employee system with PERS. They can retire one day from MHP and start the next day in a state PIN working toward a completely separate pension.
But that's not what appears to be what happened, 9:47.
9:47 - If that's the route he took, and I'm not sure, then this is something for the legislature to correct. All you people waling about double-dippers apparently overlook it when a badge is worn or military service is involved.
A scam (MHP plan) manipulating a Ponzi (PERS). Who's suprrised?
@ 9:47
See Brandon PD top 2 now
@9:47 1 is too busy letting his wife run the department while 2 plays as if he’s working but made sure his department gf was promoted, mind you that have employee files missing and was married to another trooper. They just pass them around. Use money us real officers need to to take care of families to support their alcoholic ways and gas for their city vehicles used for surveillance. Two was due for paternity court last week, somehow got postponed for him to travel another weekend on the city’s money while we beg for overtime. They continue to promote their fellow retired and fired troopers and in house gfs…but that’s only if #1s wife likes you but she liked all troopers as everyone knew. The board and mayor know exactly what’s going on and continue to turn their heads. Let’s see who travels this week and what friend or girlfriend gets to go hidden for free. Comical, I know. Both only use women with political ties. Free housing, free vehicles, free food and drinks, plus travel to multiple meetings the city has already paid for and neither went, instead waisted money and took the days off while we have to sign up for overtime. But, I guess if your a woman at BPD, that might look half pay out together you get promotions along with their retired and fired troopers brothers. Can’t wait until state auditor get ahold of the truth. Google either of them. Only a matter of time.
@9:47 agreed. I see it in the PD every day. He won’t post anything negative about the good ol folks in Brandon. Pointless.
#2 just passed me 55 south like I was sitting still, flipped his lights at me like most troopers do. I’m sure there is an emergency though. Signed tired road trooper.
Well let me just say don’t get #1 or #2 confused like I did. Thankful to ring cameras I was able to distinguish the two had actually changed vehicles over a month ago. #1 and #2 use to frequent my neighbors house OFTEN , # 1 being being most often during the day. As I starting noticing with ring alerts and movement so close to my driveway, #2 was actually visiting often in w different city vehicle and a personal car at night, late. And lo and behold, now #2 drives #1 truck and spends the night quiet often, last night even. As we were leaving for church this morning we saw him getting in #1 old truck. Had I not seen these things for myself I don’t know that I would have believed it. #2 comes from one of the sweetest ladies known in Brandon, MS. It’s disappointing to know someone could be such an embarrassment to their selves, their employees, their city, but most of ALL their family. I’m very curious to know what the city attorney and mayor will have to say tomorrow at the board meeting as to why the city is again paying for him to travel to a class again, that we have already paid for both to attend, and neither completed. I’m just a concerned citizen. We never have crime on our little street, but with the spend the night and in and out traffic to that house now one can would think we do, of course unless you have a ring camera with video footage.
I failed to mention the tenant in mentioned house is also an officer, at Brandon PD. Now sure what policy is there. Just an all around sad embarrassing situation.
If I’m not mistaken wasn’t one of his PERFECT SWAT guys a supervisor over drivers services? Did they get rid of those guys?
I know #2 very well. We were in a long term relationship in which I thought he was my life. He basically lived with me, my son which isn’t his even has his name. I helped him more than anyone can imagine when he was Mr. MBI. I got out of law endorsement after being severely beaten by an inmate. I thought he was helping me work thru the PTSD. We were best friends. I knew all his friends and thought they knew how serious we were. When #2 began working at BPD I called multiple times to speak to him or #1 about a job. My calls and messages all went unanswered. I now know why his long term best friend’s developed the hate they have for him. What I thought was a perfect man, had in fact used me for his gain with MBI. Be careful who you share your life and home with. I wouldn’t doubt anything I heard about him or #1 at this point. And agreed, everyone knows #1s wife was his x best friend’s girlfriend as well. She runs the show, writes the reports, and if not allowed he wouldn’t be there.
He helped raised my son who is now a trooper. My son considered him a step dad. Later found out he had a new girlfriend when she came to my house while he was there asleep, although he told her he wasn’t. As everyone above, he uses you until he can’t anymore. Then when you can’t help him or he no longer benefits from you he begins asking for gifts and anything you’ve ever shared together back. He knows who I am.
Guess y'all missed the part about someone who oversaw DMV in the mid 2010's when it was so crappy bitching about changing things at DMV.
I sure did! That was the ghost ticket stuff??? They were unfounded by a judge. I believe there was a whistle blower with that if I’m not wrong. But yep BPD 2 was involved.
