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.
