Chief Joey Ponder announced that the City of Collins has hired the first female, African American police officer in the department’s history. Officer Angelique Duncan was hired by the department in September and is currently enrolled in the 11-week course at the Southern Regional Public Safety Institute at Camp Shelby to become a certified police officer with the Collins Police Department.
“We are thrilled to have Angelique joining our department,” said Ponder. “She will do a great job for the City of Collins.”
