With 2011 now in the past, the Yazoo City Police Department is gearing up to make 2012 a safer year for the citizens of Yazoo City.
The crime in 2011 varied from small property damage crimes to major offenses such as murder.
Chief Eric Snow said there was a slight decrease in the number of reported burglaries and property damages. However, there was an increase in the crimes committed by juveniles.

Dear Editor:
In the 6 April 2013 edition of The Yazoo Herald you published a letter from Cynthia Fuller, "Thanks to (Van) Foster for helping get bridge replaced."
After reading this lettter, I had the impression that the bridge was completed and traffic was moving along normally.
Wrong! Last Sunday I was on my way to homecoming at Providence Baptist Church. I turned north onto old 49 and saw the signs that the bridge was out. I assumed that they hadn't gotten around to removing the signs. I expected to cross Thompson Creek on the new bridge. When I approached the creek the road was barricaded and construction equipment was down in the creek.
Perhaps The Herald can keep us updated as to the progress being made on the new bridge.
