“We looked at several different departments and visited the local agencies in Mississippi we felt we could benefit from,” said Wade, a 28-year veteran of the Jackson Police Department. I wanted to reach out to an agency comparable with the Jackson Police Department and we targeted Mobile as somewhere we felt that we could benefit from visiting.”
