Meet Marshand Crisler, Candidate for Hinds County Sherriff
Marshand Crisler a native of Greenville, MS born to Johnny and Rosia Crisler. He is the middle child of 4 siblings. Marshand states that “it is very important the city of Jackson understands the duties of a sheriff”. Most citizens think the duties are “law enforcement” but it’s actually “corrections”. His experience started at 18 years old, after 1 year at Hinds Community College where he also played football. Marshand took a break from school called a “stop out” not a “drop out” because he then enlisted in the Marine Corps. He later took on the position of a military police officer for the Marine Corps. His experience on a tour in Iraq lead to his transfer to the United States Army National Guard.
Marshand’s first assignment was where his family is located in Crystal Springs, MS, Marshand was ecstatic to show family and friends his hard work and accomplishments. “Operations of Iraqi Freedom” was his first mission as City Councilman in Jackson, MS . This assignment in 2004, led to his placement in Iraq for 366 days. Assigned Enemy Prisoners of War (EPW Operations), his unit from Canton, MS which was responsible for housing and guarding Saddam Hussein because of the history of service from the 112 unit. Marshand retired as a “Major” from U.S Air Force and has always been a man of achievement through leadership. Wrapping up his skills with 20yrs as a veteran of the Hinds County Sheriffs Department, I would say he is well over qualified to take Jackson, MS in a new direction.
