Budget Cuts Threaten Jackson PD | Jackson News

Jackson’s Police Department is on the brink of a five-million-dollar budget cut that would slash their funding to thirty-three million—forcing them back to 2021 levels. With no hiring for 51 officer and 23 civilian roles, basic supplies could go unfunded, and critical contracts for records systems and body cameras hang in the balance. Already behind on a $13,000 tax bill for body cams and facing $1.5 million in legacy obligations, the department risks collapse. Chief RaShall Brackney warns that crumbling holding cells and frozen budgets make recruitment impossible—and without funding, they’re stuck, unable to grow or improve.
