Law Enforcement
The Diamondhead Police Department provides
24-hour protection to the entire Diamondhead Community. Diamondhead’s Chief of
Police, Patrick C. Mahoney, and his officers are duly commissioned and Certified
Law Enforcement Officers. They are deputized by the Sheriffs’ Department in
both Garland and Hot Spring counties and have arrest authority in both
counties. This relationship allows both Sheriffs’ Departments to enter into
Diamondhead and assist Diamondhead Police. It also enables Diamondhead Officers
to assist those county agencies as well.
Our Department patrols approximately 42 miles of roads in Diamondhead. They also provide house checks for individuals who are away on vacations. Once a form has been completed at the front gate, it is passed on to Law Enforcement and that residence is then put on a house watch list. Between our Department and the two county agencies patrolling Diamondhead, we should never be short on police protection.
Chief Mahoney’s door is always open, so when driving by stop in and visit your Police Department.
Gate Security
Personnel employed by Pinkerton Security Service are on duty around the clock at Diamondhead’s Main Gate. Security Officers ensure that only Members, or other authorized individuals, have access to Diamondhead.
The Security Gate must be notified of the expected arrival of guests, service personnel or delivery trucks for admission. Members may indicate to the gate personnel that they wish to be phoned when these individuals arrive. Members often choose to meet their new guests at the gate.
