Jackson police chief joins leaders at Pearl River widening plan unveiling

In a Facebook post, the Jackson Police Department said Chief/Dr. Rashall Brackney joined Mayor John Horhn and other local leaders at this morning’s unveiling of the plan selection for the Pearl River Widening Project.

The post did not provide additional details about the selected plan. River widening projects typically involve engineering studies and plan choices that can affect flood management, navigation, transportation and local development; officials often emphasize environmental review and community input during planning.

The Jackson Police Department, which posted the photo, is the city agency responsible for law enforcement and public safety. Participation by a police chief and other civic leaders at an unveiling can signal broad local government involvement in a major infrastructure effort.

Details on the chosen plan, timeline and next steps were not included in the post. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
