Precinct 4 to Relocate


by Byron Wilkes
July 1, 2009

The Jackson City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to move Jackson Police Department’s Precinct 4 office from its current location on North State Street to the plaza across from Mikhail’s about a mile away on the same street.

Precinct 4 Commander Kenneth Goodrum said that while the new office is slightly smaller, he is positive it will be much better for community safety in the long run.

“We’re in a more centralized location,” Goodrum said.

The council’s new lease with DKHA Properties LLC also means that Precinct 4 won’t have to pay for water or gas. Barring any unforeseen financial complications, the city will renovate the office space to accommodate the officers after an elevator is installed in about six to eight weeks by the office’s owners.

Currently there are 46 patrol officers in Precinct 4 and 6 office personnel, which include Goodrum and his lieutenant. Goodrum said that he has been anticipating the move to newer, better facilities since November 2007.
