Memphis law enforcement claims success with over 7,000 arrests and significant drug and weapon seizures, attributing this to a large-scale enforcement operation under a renewed 'Law & Order' campaign associated with President Trump. This effort follows a historic 70% drop in murders and other violent crimes, marking a turning point in public safety and potentially serving as a model for urban crime reduction strategies across the nation.
Memphis has achieved historic reductions in violent crime, including significant drops in murders, robberies, and carjackings. These gains are attributed to extensive law enforcement operations that resulted in thousands of arrests, gun seizures, drug removals, and the rescue of missing children, and have been highlighted by President Donald J. Trump.
