SUMMARY: The expansion of the Capitol Complex Improvement District (CCID) in Jackson, effective today, includes changes to 911 call handling and police patrols. The expansion began on July 1, giving state officers more responsibilities in a larger portion of Jackson. Capitol Police now have primary responsibility for calls in the CCID, with the city's dispatch center routing 911 calls to them until the state's own center is operational. Both city and state agencies are establishing Memorandums of Understanding. They aim to maintain a four-minute response time for emergencies. The state is also finalizing its court system for handling CCID-related cases, which Hinds County currently manages. Further expansions and adjustments are anticipated.

Expect to see a larger law enforcement presence throughout Jackson

SUMMARY: The Hinds County Board of Supervisors is debating the future of a former military entrance processing building in downtown Jackson, currently serving as a voting precinct. While some supervisors propose renaming it the Hinds County Administration Building and relocating the Election Commission there, election officials argue that such a move before an election would be logistically challenging. They believe a master plan is essential to avoid misusing funds during renovations. The building is in Bobby McGowan's District Five, and he feels that other supervisors are overstepping by interfering with the district's affairs. Positive feedback has been received, but concerns remain about the timing and planning.
