Lieutenant James Russell; commend upon retirement from Southaven Police Department after 30 dedicated years of service.
HR 38 is a ceremonial resolution commending Lieutenant James Russell for 30 years of service with the Southaven Police Department upon his retirement. It contains no policy changes or funding provisions - it solely honors his career, including his Army deployment (2001-2004) and roles like Patrol Lieutenant and Fleet Coordinator. The resolution was adopted by the Mississippi House in February 2025 and will be presented to Russell and the Southaven Police Department. This is a symbolic gesture with no direct impact on laws, budgets, or constituents.
