Their social media page keeps the public informed with timely updates on important issues like power outages, road closures and arrest reports.

It also informs the citizens of DeSoto Parish about public events and takes the time to highlight employees or individuals who have gone above and beyond to help others in the parish and are worthy of the recognition.

But, for those who are truly paying attention, there's a regular dose of humor that most offices never inject into their public information.  I have to think that the lion share of the credit for this one goes to the DeSoto Sheriff's Public Information Officer, Mark Pierce.  He's obviously the cream of the crop when it comes to what's deemed Public Information.

You might recall over the past couple of years that he's highlighted some hilarious campaigns for the DeSoto Sheriff including:

And one of everyone's favorites was the time they issued an arrest report for the alligator blocking traffic on I-49.

And now this week, I'm guessing you have to be a routine follower of the Sheriff's social media to even expect to see things like this, but the office took the routine Weekly Dispatch report and inserted their brand of humor.

Touché Mark! Very well played! Please keep 'em coming!
