SUMMARY: The execution order in York requires the Sheriff and Attorney General's office to post it multiple times. The Capitol Police Force in Jackson is expanding this summer to reach 225 officers by the next fiscal year, up from just under 160 currently. Jackson City Councilman Kenneth Stokes discussed the changing jurisdiction and hopes it will reduce crime. Operation Unified, announced by the Governor at the start of the year, is a collaboration of federal, state, and city police to crack down on crime and drug trafficking. A town hall meeting is planned to discuss these initiatives.
