Following the retirement of Chief William “Bill” Cox, Chief Garcia will take the reins as the leader of our department. We are confident he will continue guiding our officers with integrity, professionalism, and dedication as they serve and protect our community each day.

We look forward to the leadership, experience, and vision that Chief Carlos Garcia will bring to the Olive Branch Police Department.
