COPS is a national program created by the Department of
Justice and was implemented in Jackson in the fall of 2003.
Community policing is defined as "a policing philosophy
that promotes and supports organizational strategies to
address the causes and reduce the fear of crime and social
disorder through problem-solving tactics and police-community
partnerships." Our purpose locally is to provide a
network including city, state, and regional officials and
their citizenry to share information pertinent to crime
awareness & prevention, government activities, and the
legislative process. Here in Precinct 4, COPS meets once
a month, with set agendas and guest speakers including police,
religious, education, business and community leaders. Please
join us every fourth Thursday at 5:30PM at the Precinct
4 Headquarters located at 3304 North State Street in Fondren..
