Mississippi Capitol Police Chief Bo Luckey joins Jackson public safety forum tonight

Mississippi Capitol Police Chief Bo Luckey will join a public safety forum Tuesday evening at New Horizons Church International in Jackson, organizers said. The event runs from 6 to 7 p.m., with doors opening at 5:30 p.m.

A Facebook post from New Horizons Church International said Luckey will appear with other local law enforcement and community leaders to discuss public safety issues. The post urged residents to attend and hear from officials about current concerns and community policing efforts.

The Mississippi Capitol Police provide security at the state Capitol in Jackson and other state properties and periodically take part in community outreach to explain safety protocols and answer questions from the public. Public forums like this one are used by officials to share information, gather community input and build local partnerships.

Residents seeking more information should contact the church or local law enforcement agencies. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
