SUMMARY: The Jackson Police Department (JPD) has solved the two latest homicides, making three arrests within 24 hours, with a fourth pending. Police Chief Joseph Wade attributes the 80% solvability rate to a new focused approach that prioritizes witness statements, physical evidence, and technology. He emphasizes accountability for violent crimes, aided by new federal resources after Jackson was designated a public safety partnership city. While crime rates have declined, Wade stresses the importance of community involvement and judicial reform, advocating for stricter bail for violent offenders to bolster crime-fighting efforts.
