The Rotary Club of North Jackson honored Jackson Police Department’s (JPD) Corporal Lashia Thomas as the Precinct 4 Officer of the Quarter for the second quarter of 2020 during its September 22, 2020 meeting. Corporal Thomas was honored for responding to a missing person call about a man who was suffering from Alzheimer’s. After meeting with the man’s wife, Corporal Thomas was able to track the man’s cell phone and locate him in Mound, Louisiana. After contacting law enforcement there, they found the missing man safe. Corporal Thomas’s quick action while keeping the wife calm, earned her the honor.
