The task force's wide-ranging impacts

from The AM/DM · host The Daily Memphian

After the Memphis Safe Task Force was deployed last fall, the Collierville Police Department did something unexpected. It increased the number of officers who were on patrol and paid them overtime to work the shifts. The idea was that the task force might push would-be Memphis criminals into Collierville and the other suburbs, where those individuals would be safe, so to speak, from the full 13-agency federal task force. But it hasn't worked out that way for many reasons.  Today, suburbs section editor Clay Bailey joins Mary Cashiola to talk the impact of the task force on places like Collierville, Germantown and Millington.  Plus: How a little girl from rural Louisiana became a research leader at UTHSC Clayborn Temple is set to be rebuilt One Memphis lawmaker wants to stop evictions from being livestreamed The convention center Sheraton could be redeveloped and rebranded by 2029 A veteran Memphs judge is set to retire
