Brookhaven police chief slams report on department
SUMMARY: The Brookhaven Police Department in Mississippi may undergo changes following a report that highlighted problems within the department. A police practices expert was hired by the Brookhaven Board of Aldermen to identify issues, and the evaluation found a severe manpower shortage and a lack of training. The police chief disagrees with the board’s decision and believes it will cost the citizens in the long run. In August, the department faced criticism after a detective’s errors led to a mistrial in a case involving two white men and a Black FedEx worker. The board has also considered appointing a chief of police.
