Moss Point, Miss. - The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Mississippi, along with the Moss Point Police Department, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Jackson County Sheriff's Office, and other federal, state and local law enforcement agencies, announced the expansion of an initiative to combat violent crime called 'Project EJECT' into Jackson County and the City of Moss Point.

Launched by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Mississippi in December 2017 in the City of Jackson, Project EJECT is designed as an enhanced violent crime reduction program that incorporates decades of experience in bringing various levels of law enforcement together with stakeholders in the community, with the overall goal of producing a long-term, meaningful reduction in and prevention of violent crime.

Project EJECT now stands for: 'Empower Justice Expel Crime Together.'

U.S. Attorney Mike Hurst described the project as a multi-disciplinary, holistic approach that combines law enforcement arrests and prosecutions of violent criminals with prevention efforts, rehabilitation and reentry, educational initiatives, and improved communication.

'We are excited about the potential for this successful crime fighting initiative to help the citizens of Moss Point and Jackson County. By working together with our law enforcement and community partners, Project EJECT will effectively address this increase in violent crime and make our neighborhoods safer,' said U.S. Attorney Hurst.
