SUMMARY: In Lumberton, the board of aldermen recently approved the use of take-home vehicles for the police department. Chief Adrian Fortenberry states that several officers live outside of the city, and having take-home vehicles can save time in emergencies and help draw and retain officers. The long-time request was finally accepted at the recent board meeting. Officers have already seen a positive response. The pay has been made competitive with other departments, and working with the board was the final piece of the puzzle to get take-home cars for officers. Mosely was sworn in on December 18 and will officially take office on January 1st.

The long-time request was finally accepted at this month's board meeting.

He urged the Jackson Department of Planning and Development to implement a 90-day warning period for users struggling with the new system. Stokes criticized the city for not educating the public earlier. Additionally, he advocated for a formal contract for Police Chief Joseph Wade to empower him to enhance city safety, emphasizing collaboration with other law enforcement agencies. These issues will be addressed at the upcoming city council meeting on Tuesday.
