Crime was down in early 2024, Gibbons says at Collierville Chamber
“If the entire metropolitan area is going to continue to have more and better jobs, growth in our population, growth in our tax base, then we’ve got to do something about crime in Memphis,” said Bill Gibbons, president of the Memphis Shelby Crime Commission, at a at Collierville Chamber of Commerce lunch Wednesday, June 12. “It impacts all of us. ... It’s not just a Memphis problem. It’s a metropolitan area problem.” (Mark Weber/The Daily Memphian file)
“Reported violent crime, reported property crime and overall crime is down,” Bill Gibbons, president of the Memphis Shelby Crime Commission, said. “I don’t think most people feel it yet, and the way people feel is very, very important.”
