Security guard shot and killed
SUMMARY: We have a lot of work to do as a law enforcement agency, community, and city leaders. The Jackson Police Department (JP D) is solving cases exceptionally well with a 79% solvability rate, which outpaces the national average of around 52%. Most homicides involve acquaintances, suggesting a need for better conflict resolution strategies. We must focus on youth engagement and parental supervision, as demonstrated by a recent incident involving minors committing capital murder. Community involvement is crucial, with video surveillance from citizens significantly contributing to solving cases. This cooperation is vital in addressing violent crime in Jackson.
