“Do justice. Love Mercy. Walk Humbly.”

We continue to honor former Columbus Division of Police Chief James G. Jackson. Jackson served Columbus honorably for five decades. The City’s first Black Chief of Police, he fought to create a division that represented our diverse community, and shaped CPD into a national model.
Jackson passed away this week at the age of 91.

In 2022, he sat down with us to reflect on his history-making career.

Here is Chief James G. Jackson, in his own words.
