ABOUT THE JACKSON POLICE DEPARTMENT |
|
Our Mission Statement |

Our goal is to prevent crime when possible and to apprehend and prosecute those responsible for committing crimes when deterrence or prevention measures fail. |

Department Profile |
|
The Jackson Police Department currently operates with a staff of 25 employees, including 18 full-time commissioned police officers. The administration division is comprised of a Chief and an Assistant Chief. The patrol division has five sergeants and eleven patrol officers, with two officers working as investigators. Two patrol officers operate our bicycle patrol during the spring and summer seasons. Our department also has six communications officers (one is part-time) and one secretary. Road officers work four 10 hour shifts a week in a staggered, "overlay" fashion, allowing for extra coverage during peak call times and days. Communications personnel, administrators and our secretary work the more traditional 8 hour shift. One patrol officer and one communications officer are assigned as fill-in personnel, covering both scheduled and emergency time off shifts for other employees. These positions greatly reduce the amount of forced overtime and allow for additional scheduling flexibility. When not covering vacations, holidays or sick leave, the fill-in employees are assigned as additional staffing during peak times. All patrol division officers and communications employees are represented by the Fraternal Order of Police. There is a 10 officer volunteer police auxiliary unit within the patrol division. |
