Rotary
Club of
Harrison County Sheriff, Melvin Brisolara
recently addressed the Rotary Club of Biloxi.
Sheriff Brisolara discussed current issues
facing his department including overcrowding concerns at the jail and efforts
to bring back the inmate work center.
While visiting the club, the Sheriff recognized the Rotary Club of
Biloxi’s work with the popular Kids ID program by presenting the club with a
plaque. The Biloxi Rotary Club under the
leadership of Dean Shankland, has been partnering with the Harrison County Sheriff’s
Department for 11 years to provide Kids IDs to local families. These ID packets provide a parent one
convenient location to store vital information on each of his/her children. Commonly stored in the Kids ID packets are
hair samples, fingerprints, current photo and a physical description. In the case of a missing child, a parent can
quickly provide the Kids ID packet to the authorities to use as an aid in their
search.
