Law enforcement; authorize provision of security to private schools.
SB 2352 allows Mississippi municipalities, police departments, and sheriff's offices to contract with private nonprofit school boards to provide certified law enforcement security services. The bill directly affects private nonprofit schools by enabling them to access off-duty police officers for campus security, who may wear official uniforms and use department equipment under agreed terms. Key provisions include requiring school districts to secure liability insurance that indemnifies the law enforcement agency, and mandating that agencies only approve uniform/equipment use if insurance covers the jurisdiction. The law would take effect July 1, 2026, but died in committee in February 2026.
