More Jpd Officers
SUMMARY: Interim Jackson Police Chief Joseph Wade has taken over and claims there has been a positive change in energy, although challenges still remain. One significant challenge is the city's 911 system, which has been a longstanding issue for the department. Chief Wade acknowledges the difficulty in hiring dispatchers to answer 911 calls and mentions they are implementing measures to address the problem. The department currently receives 7,000 to 10,000 calls per week and is understaffed with only 227 officers out of a budgeted 304. However, Chief Wade is expecting two more officers to join in the next pay period. More details on the 911 call system struggles will be provided in the next press conference with the mayor.
