In 2008, the Memphis Shelby Crime Commission developed an integral partnership with the University of Memphis’ Center for Community Criminology and Research (C3R). Through this partnership, the Crime Commission is able to secure and provide the citizens of Memphis and Shelby County with up-to-date crime trend analysis for our community.
These crime trends and statistics are a vital component in measuring the effectiveness of the Memphis Shelby Crime Commission 5-year crime reduction initiative, Operation: Safe Community which began in 2006. Crime statistics and updates are systematically compared
to 2006 as a benchmark for success towards full implementation of the
5-year plan.
