Eighty-three percent of Jackson residents — 90 percent of men and 77 percent of women — say they generally feel safe in their homes, according to a new Commitment 2005 poll. However, the Jackson Police Department gets only average reviews in the survey.
Thirty-nine percent of those voters surveyed gave the Jackson Police Department excellent or good reviews, while 41 percent rated officers as fair. Sixteen percent gave the police department poor reviews.
Chief Robert Moore said that considering how bad the department used to be, he’s OK with that score.
“It had come out of one heck of a problem area, so to get it to that level where they say it’s fair, I’m very satisfied,” he said.
