Grady Smith is our Senior Narcotics Investigator for our Department and has worked in the Narcotics Division since 2011.

     Taylor Walker currently serves as one of our two Narcotics Investigators.  Walker also serves as the Chief of our Reserve Deputies and the Liaison with the Prentiss County School District supervising our three School Resource Officers. 

     

 

    

 

The Prentiss County Sheriff's Office realizes that the most common element of crime in general is the sale and use of illegal narcotics.  To effectively combat this problem, in 2000 we were given the opportunity to join North Mississippi Narcotics Unit based out of Tupelo.  This gave us the ability to hire a full time narcotics officer, whose salary is paid for through a Grant.  The Narcotics Unit multiples our resources by giving us the availablity of every agent that is apart of the unit from every member agency, both city and county, along with providing each agent with equipment, buy money and vehicles that we individually might not be able to provide because of budgetary restraints.  

Our membership in this unit and a very aggressive narcotics officers has allowed us to make record numbers of drug arrests and some of the largest seizures of drugs in Prentiss County's history.

Our most recent  and largest Drug Bust occurred in July 2011 when Narcotics Investigators executed a Search Warrant at a Shop North of Booneville and Seized 420 lbs of Marijuana and $100's of Thousands of dollars in Cash and other assets.

In May 2013 we were able to hire another Narcotics Officers to Double our Drug Fighting efforts.  Grady Smith tranistioned from Patrol Deputy to Narcotics Investigator and works alongside Joey Clark who is our senior Narcotics Investigator.  They work very closely with local narcotics agents from Booneville (Josh Davis) who help combat illict narcotics in Prentiss County.  All agents within the unit is sworn in, in every member jurisdiction and has full authority and power of arrest in each jurisdiction.

We also work very closely with other neighboring jurisdictions that are not unit members, along with the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics, Drug Enforcement Administration and other agencies responsible with narcotics investigations.
