On Friday, June 19, 2020, Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba signed an executive order amending the Use of Force Policy for the Jackson Police Department. In addition to a number of measures taken to reimagine the City of Jackson's approach to public safety, JPD's amended Use of Force Policy is yet another step to honor the commitment this administration has made to building relationships amongst Jackson residents and police officers based on trust, integrity, and community partnership where abuse of power and misconduct have no place.
