Commentary: We’re Making Memphis Safe Again – Now Let’s Make Digital World Safe Too
Update: 2025-10-30
Description
Memphis is a city in transformation. Thanks many of our state’s policymakers and federal partners, our state has pushed back on crime, bolstered our police and law enforcement presence, and embraced community initiatives to reclaim our neighborhoods. However, while our streets and communities are patrolled by public safety authorities, our children roam a much less supervised digital world that leaves them exposed and vulnerable.
Over the past month, Memphis has seen a dramatic surge of law enforcement. This “Memphis Safe Task Force,” backed by President Trump’s administration, Governor Bill Lee, Senator Marsha Blackburn, Senator Bill Hagerty, the Tennessee National Guard, state legislators, and federal agencies, has made over 1,000 arrests in just weeks for offenses ranging from homicides and sex crimes to narcotic trafficking and gang activity. Law enforcement has also served 418 warrants and located 40 missing children in this same period.
