Mobile unit to assist Jackson in investigating crimes
SUMMARY: Law enforcement agencies in Jackson will receive new technology as part of a $675,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Justice. The DOJ will be deploying a National Integrated Ballistic Information Network (NIBIN) mobile unit to Jackson to help combat gun violence. NIBIN is a database of bullet casings recovered from crime scenes across the United States, allowing investigators to identify if casings recovered are linked to other crimes. By improving technology and timeliness of evidence collection, law enforcement agencies hope to prevent future shootings and bring justice to victims sooner. The NIBIN will be in Jackson for a couple of months to aid in curbing youth crime and improving police services.

SUMMARY: Firefighters at Fire Station 2 in Starkville, Mississippi, have created a DIY training room in an underused storage space to improve their search and rescue skills. The space is set up with realistic obstacles and scenarios to help them prepare for different situations. The goal is to eventually build a larger-scale facility for more comprehensive training. The firefighters believe that continuous training is essential to ensure citizen safety and respond effectively in emergencies. By practicing in a realistic environment, they can improve their response time and better serve the community.

SUMMARY: Mississippi lawmakers passed House Bill 1640, limiting the time people can be held in jail awaiting mental health care. The law states that individuals awaiting civil commitment can only be held for 48 hours unless facing criminal charges. The aim is to provide timely mental health treatment rather than keeping individuals in jail. The law will go into effect on July 1. Clay County Sheriff Eddie Scott believes these changes are needed to address mental health issues in county jails. While it's a step in the right direction, more treatment facilities are needed to expedite the process and prevent unnecessary stays in jail.
