Today, DA Mulroy hosted Memphis and Shelby County leaders gathered for a meeting to discuss public safety. The collaborative strategic planning session helped determine key objectives for the DA’S Office, law enforcement, and other officials in Shelby County.
“We’re in a crime crisis,” DA Mulroy said. “And the only way to reduce crime is for everyone to work together. The Summit's goal is to create a space for law enforcement, city, and county leaders, and the DA’s Office to brainstorm and leave with three to five consensus priorities to which we can all commit."
Attendees: Memphis Police Chief, C.J. Davis, Shelby County Mayor Lee Harris, Memphis Mayor Jim Strickland, U.S. Attorney Kevin Ritz, Sheriff Floyd Bonner, Senator Brent Taylor (R-Memphis), Senator Raumesh Akbari (D-Memphis), Representative John Gillespie (R-Memphis), representatives from the U.S. Marshals, Tennessee Highway Patrol, and Tennessee Department of Corrections.
In a recent article published by the Tennessee Lookout, juvenile crime was examined. According to recent data compiled by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, juvenile arrests have decreased 53% in the last decade across Tennessee, including in Shelby and Davidson Counties.
In 2013, there were 28,915 juvenile arrests in Tennessee, but just 13,700 in 2022, a 53% decrease.
