  • The Staff of the Office of the Attorney General State of Mississippi 2007 a Message from Attorney General Jim Hood
    THE STAFF OF THE OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL STATE OF MISSISSIPPI 2007 A MESSAGE FROM ATTORNEY GENERAL JIM HOOD Dear Fellow Mississippians: It is with a great sense of accomplishment that I present to you our annual report for FY2007. This report encompasses the crux of the work we have accomplished during my fourth year in office. Our investigative labors and increased manpower have yielded a record number of Home Repair Fraud arrests over the past year. I hope you will especially take time to review all of the good things coming from our Consumer Protection Division. It is the heart of what we do every day, working to serve you, the citizens of our state. This fiscal year, we opened the doors to the Mississippi Cyber Crime Fusion Center, the first facility of its kind nationwide. The center houses federal, state and local law enforcement agencies dedicated to fighting internet crime. We must be diligent and progressive in our efforts to reduce this escalating area of criminal activity. It is at the forefront of my agenda during the next four years. New to the Attorney General’s Office is the Domestic Violence Division, a resource for law enforcement, prosecutors, judges and all other individuals or entities providing services to domestic violence victims within the State of Mississippi. This division brings a cohesiveness to the state’s efforts in fighting domestic violence, for which Mississippi ranks 2nd in the nation. I am proud to report to you that during the fiscal year, we retrieved almost $27 Million of embezzled and misused funds owed to the state.

    MISSISSIPPI ATTORNEY GENERAL 2016 Office of the Attorney General State of Mississippi 2016 Annual Report Attorney General Jim Hood 2016 ANNUAL REPORT Page 1 MISSISSIPPI ATTORNEY GENERAL A Message from Attorney General Jim Hood Dear Fellow Mississippians, This past January, I had the great privilege to be sworn in to my fourth term as Attorney General. I am humbled and honored by the confidence that the state’s voters have shown in me. As Mississippi’s chief legal officer, I lead a team of dedicated professionals, all of whom are committed to protecting our great state. As I begin my 14th year in office, I am pleased to present to you the annual report from my office for Fiscal Year 2016. Since I took office, rapid changes to technology have given criminals and con artists new ways to prey upon citizens. However, I am proud that our office has met the challenge of these modern problems. We use sophisticated investigative tools to track down cyber criminals and child predators. We strive to stay a step ahead of those who would attempt to take advantage of Mississippi residents. As we respond to new threats, we continue to investigate and prosecute new cases, assist consumers and crime victims, and train law enforcement officers and prosecutors. The attorneys, investigators, program managers, and support staff who serve you in the Attorney General's Office are among the most accomplished and experienced public servants in the nation. This year, two of them were singled out for national recognition. Paula Broome, Bureau of Victim Assistance, was recognized by the American Bar Association for her service to victims of domestic violence.
