The Mississippi Department of Public Safety announced plans to add scooters to the fleet for the Mississippi Highway Patrol, Commercial Transportation Enforcement Division, and Capitol Police. The move aims to enhance mobility and visibility across the state and within local communities, according to a social media post.
However, the department clarified that the announcement was an April Fools’ joke. In a follow-up message, officials urged residents to stay safe and enjoy the spring season.
The department did not provide further details on actual initiatives or projects at this time.
