JACKSON, Miss. – The Jackson Police Department is taking a proactive approach to crime prevention by incorporating advanced technology into their operations. Among the new tools being utilized are blue light surveillance cameras and license plate readers, aimed at enhancing public safety and improving response times to incidents.
The blue light surveillance cameras are strategically placed throughout the city, providing real-time monitoring of high-crime areas. This initiative is designed to deter criminal activities and assist law enforcement in quickly identifying and apprehending suspects. The license plate readers complement this effort by allowing officers to track vehicles associated with criminal activity, enabling a more efficient investigation process.
