HB 692 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Radar; authorize sheriffs and deputies to use under certain conditions.

HB 692 would allow county sheriffs and deputies to use radar speed detection equipment on county roads, which is currently prohibited under Mississippi law. It requires approval from the county board of supervisors via majority vote, with the approval recorded in official minutes. This directly affects all Mississippi county law enforcement officers who currently cannot deploy radar on county roads without this authorization. The bill would not change existing allowances for municipal police in large cities or campus police.
