JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - After 28 years on the force and three months serving in an interim capacity, Joseph Wade has been confirmed as Jackson’s next police chief.
On Tuesday, the city council voted unanimously to confirm the mayor’s pick to head up the Jackson Police Department.
The confirmation felt more like a rally than a forma event, with Wade’s presentation being interrupted several times with applause from the officers gathered in council chambers.
