Community Police Oversight Commission

About

Created by the Jackson City Council in 2021, the Community Police Oversight Commission is tasked with further enhancing transparency and trust between the Jackson Police Department (JPD) and the community they service. 

The commission meets monthly and consists of a five-person board of City residents and business owners who advise the City's Director of Police and Fire Services on community relations, policies, training, hiring and other programming. Commission members are also able to review JPD budgets, misconduct rules, and resident complaints about officer interactions.
