Jackson Mayor John Horhn, Police Chief RaShall Brackney, Hinds County Sheriff Tyree Jones and Capitol Police Chief Bo Luckey convened with community organization leaders at the Jackson Convention Complex to deliberate on public safety and crime-related concerns, according to a Facebook post by the Jackson Police Department.

The gathering brought together city, county and capitol law enforcement officials alongside community representatives, reflecting a multi-agency effort to address public safety challenges facing Jackson. The post did not provide details of any specific proposals or outcomes.

Jackson is the capital of Mississippi, and the Jackson Convention Complex is a major downtown venue for civic meetings and events.
