Theft of Property

Theft of Property Employees shall be held responsible to protect, conserve and account for the tools and equipment assigned to, and signed for, by them. In accordance with Mississippi Code Annotated Section 29-9-17(2) the Port Authority shall demand swift recovery of the value of equipment assigned when it is missing. The Property Officer shall be responsible for investigating reports of theft of property and the proper completion of incident reports. Police reports shall be filed and reported theft of property shall be conveyed to the Executive Director. Reported theft of property does not relieve the responsible employee from recovery of the value of the missing equipment.
