Tupelo, MS Captain Marty E. Mask Tupelo Police Department Tupelo, MS 38804 September 06, 2022 To: Major Chuck McDougald Re: Commendation for Officers-Welfare concern I would like to submit this letter of commendation to recognize Officer Josh Miller and Officer Cameron Jones. Their quick actions and verbal skills allowed them to change the course of an otherwise fateful incident. On September 5, 2022, Officers Miller and Jones responded to a call of a male subject sitting on the Southern Heights bridge over MS Hwy 6. Officer Miller made contact with Mark Lockhart and engaged him in conversation. During this time Officer Jones was able to get into position, and ultimately was able to get his arms around Mr. Lockhart and lift him off the ledge. There were no injuries to officer or Mr. Lockhart. Medics were called due to his telling the officers he was having marital problems and was just wanting it to be over. During the wait for medics officers continued to reassure him that help was available and he would be ok. I would like to commend these two officer on a job well done. Their actions reflect on our department as to who we are and the professional qualities our officers possess.

While Officer Burnley was responding to the scene he observed a vehicle matching the description of the suspects’ vehicle that had been provided by a witness/caller to E-911. Officer Burnley stopped the vehicle and ultimately the violent offenders were arrested for aggravated assault. On September 13, 2022 Baker Shift received a call to service from Lee County E-911 at Murphy’s Fuel Station on West Main Street regarding a armed robbery. E-911 also provided a suspect’s description that was confirmed by Officer Chris Forrester when he arrived on scene. Officer Burnley responded to the area that the suspect fled towards and located the suspect. He detained and ultimately arrested the offender for armed robbery. Officer Burnley’s attention to detail, skills and professionalism led to the peaceful arrests of two violent offenders. These two outcomes are prime examples of Officer Burnley carrying out the mission of the Tupelo Police Department: “To protect all people within the boundaries of the City of Tupelo and to uphold the Constitutions of the State of Mississippi and of the United States of America.” It is for these two reasons that I would like to formally commend Officer Burnley for his outstanding police work.

APPENDIX M 317 AGENDA REQUEST TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Don Lewis, COO DATE September 15, 2022 SUBJECT: IN THE MATTER OF TRANSFER OF WARD APPOINTEE/MAYOR APPOINTEE DL Request: Move Bridgette Wilson from the Mayoral Appointee position to the Board Representative for Ward 4. APPENDIX N 318 Don, At the regular PAB Board meeting on 14 September 2022, since we are now meeting only every other month, the Board voted to request the City Council to make a change regarding attendance to SEC. 108 of the Ordinance establishing the Board to read as follows: "Any Board member who fails to attend two (2) consecutive meetings or fails to attend three (3) regular or duly called special meetings in one calendar year shall be automatically suspended and a vacancy shall be declared ......" In a private discussion with Mayoral Appointee Bridgette Wilson, she agreed to transfer her appointment from the Mayoral position to the Position as Board Representative from Ward 4 which is being vacated by Aaron Washington who has completed serving two consecutive terms. This move would provide another Mayoral Appointee Position that can be filled. With these moves being made and this Mayoral Appointee being filled, we only need a new appointee from Ward 5 to replace Larry Presley who has completed serving two consecutive terms. As a point of information for the Council, the Board also voted to change the meeting time and date to 5:30 P.M. on the second Thursday of each scheduled meeting month beginning with the next meeting on 10 November 2022.
