Chief RaShall Brackney outlines FY 2027 budget proposal for Jackson Police Department

Chief RaShall Brackney spoke about her fiscal year 2027 budget proposal for the Jackson Police Department in a short Facebook Reel posted online, outlining the department’s priorities for the coming year.

The statement did not include detailed line items or dollar amounts. Budget proposals from police chiefs typically present requests for staffing, training, equipment and community programs that leaders say are needed to carry out public safety responsibilities.

As chief, Brackney leads the municipal law enforcement agency responsible for policing in the city of Jackson. The department’s budget proposal will help frame conversations among city officials and community stakeholders about resource allocation and public safety strategy.

Municipal budget proposals are usually reviewed by the mayor’s office and the city council, and they can be adjusted through hearings and public input before enactment. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
