Dr. Brackney prepares to lead Jackson Police Department
Dr. Rashall Brackney is gearing up to assume the role of chief of the Jackson Police Department and has received enthusiastic support from residents, city leaders said.
Mayor Horhn praised the community reaction, saying, “There’s a new sense of excitement and the atmosphere is charged with new energy, I’m telling you Jackson Is Rising.” The mayor’s comment was posted alongside images shared by the Jackson Police Department on its official social media page.
Police chiefs oversee department strategy, personnel and community policing efforts, and a leadership transition often draws attention from residents, advocacy groups and local officials. Public support for a new chief can affect morale within the department and influence early priorities, community engagement and trust.
Details about Brackney’s start date, plans and priorities were not included in the post. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
