đź“Ť First on Scene

Before officers arrived, an MPD drone was already overhead.

Responding to a disturbance call on Waldran Boulevard, the drone provided real-time information as a suspect attempted to leave the area. With continuous updates from the drone operator, officers quickly located the suspect and took him into custody.

The Drone as First Responder Program provides officers with critical information before they reach the scene, helping improve response times, enhance officer safety, and support safer outcomes for everyone involved.

This is what a Stronger, Safer Memphis looks like.

The Memphis Police Department joined Commissioner Caswell and community partners at The Lux at Raleigh Apartments to support families and residents following a tragic act of violence involving a juvenile.

Officers distributed free gun locks, gun safety materials, and victim resources while connecting residents with services and support. Together, we focused on prevention, healing, and strengthening our community.

Buying a gun for someone who cannot legally purchase one is not a favor…it is a federal crime!

Today, Chief Davis joined the ATF, along with other federal and local law enforcement partners, for the launch of the "Don't Lie for the Other Guy" campaign, a nationwide effort to prevent illegal straw purchases of fi****ms.

Straw purchasing puts guns into the hands of prohibited individuals and fuels violent crime in our communities.

Since October, the Memphis Police Department has recovered more than 3,000 fi****ms from Memphis neighborhoods. Preventing illegal gun purchases is a critical part of reducing gun violence and keeping our neighborhoods safe.

If someone asks you to buy a firearm on their behalf, say no. Report suspicious activity to law enforcement.

“We will continue using every available resource to identify and hold violent criminals accountable, bring justice to victims and their families, and sustain the gains we’ve made in reducing violent crime.” — Chief Cerelyn “C.J.” Davis

MPD currently maintains an 82% homicide clearance rate, meaning the vast majority of homicides occurring in our city are being solved.

Today, two homicide suspects connected to separate investigations were apprehended by the MPD Fugitive Unit after being quickly identified by MPD Homicide investigators.
