Gee, how often did we hear Chokwe brag about the Real Time Crime Center? WLBT reported:
A recent audit of Jackson’s Real-Time Command Center [RTCC] reveals severe staffing shortages, as well as hundreds of inoperable cameras. Jackson Police Chief RaShall Brackney revealed details of the findings at a Jackson City Council committee meeting on Thursday. She told members that of the 700 or so cameras that have been reviewed, more than 400 were not working. Meanwhile, she says that the center has just four staffers, and that the center has historically not been staffed on nights and weekends.
“We currently have one opening, and one that will be coming open,” she said. “We’ve been talking to HR about all of our needs, about not just these positions, but other non-sworn [positions].” To address the problem, Brackney has adjusted shifts to expand coverage. She also has issued a directive to each precinct to identify a person during each shift to send to the facility so it can be staffed. Brackney says having more officers at the RTCC would help them become more familiar with the center’s technology, which she says will eventually be accessible from their vehicles. Rest of article
Just like that boast "Thalia Mara Hall is open for business." Is anyone surprised?

Can Jackson run anything correctly?
"...the center has historically not been staffed on nights and weekends." WTF?
missing fire hydrants and now non-working cameras? I wonder if they are those fake security cameras that just have a red LED and no guts.
Did Chowke establish anything that actually worked correctly? (That would be no). Not staffed at night and weekends. Huh....Isn't that when crimes peak? Have any crimes been stopped or even solved via this smoke and mirrors scam? The City of Jokeson.
He did brag about it and those brags were lapped up by his ignorant useful idiot base.
Property tax bump incoming. Bank on it.
Chokwe was glazing again?
It was fake from day 1. "Real time crime center" was the buzz word bloviated by the politicians around the U.S. at the time. Getting "tough on crime" always generates votes.
But did it matter because it was "just a perception of crime." Right?
Job creating scam.
"...the center has historically not been staffed on nights and weekends." There's your trouble.
It's al about show and no substance. The ironic part is that this chief is also part of the show.
Why does this type of thing keep happening in Jackson?
Is there a pattern?
I heard that when it was staffed, it was by a sex offender relative of Chokwe's. But you don't need cameras to know where these antisocial assholes are having their ridiculous car meet up on Sunday nights.
I forget, how much money was spent on this real time crime center? Also, what has it accomplished?
So the Real Time Crimes were really coming from inside then Real Time Crime Center?
Time for an audit. Any bets they were budgeted to be fully-staffed and 24/7? Where did the funding go?
Will skyhook talk Chowke? No
Honestly, bringing this forward and making the issue known is the right step. Putting officers in the center is also another good move. At least they're acknowldging a problem, whereas the previous clown didn't want those cameras working for obvious reasons.
