On Friday, June 19, 2020, Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba signed an executive order amending the Use of Force Policy for the Jackson Police Department. It’s on the JPD website. Many police departments have website, facebook pages, and other ways you can learn about the police in your area. https://www.jacksonms.gov/departments/jackson-police-department/
