SUMMARY: Jackson Mayor Chokwe A. Lumumba stated that the City Council cannot independently issue contracts to the police and fire chiefs. This response follows the City Council's decision to override Lumumba's veto of the contract proposal. Police Chief Joseph Wade, present at the announcement, clarified he never requested a contract, emphasizing his commitment to improving conditions in Jackson and its police department rather than seeking monetary or authoritative gain. Councilman Kenneth Stokes suggested a contract would allow Wade to more effectively combat crime. Lumumba noted contractual obligations might affect Wade's healthcare and retirement benefits.

SUMMARY: Governor Tate Reeves of Mississippi signed four law enforcement bills into law. One measure allows deceased first responders' families to receive the responder's salary for 60 days. Another increases payouts from the Law Enforcement Officers and Firefighters Death Benefits Trust Fund. House Bill 691 revises the State Board on Law Enforcement Officers Standards and Training, empowering it to investigate misconduct and revoke officer certificates. The bill also requires the governor to make six appointments to the board. Reeves emphasized these changes provide more training, accountability, and unbiased investigations into officer-involved shootings, benefiting the law enforcement community and the public.
