Memphis Tennessee..

You were up towards my area (Jackson) I work in the North Precinct and everything MemphisPD said was true. As sorry as it is to say drugs are the least of our problems. And if you want a quick trip to IAB mess with dope boys. So if you want to stay away from IAB dont mess with dope boys. See how that works?

A lot of good officers have been burned by command staff and will not work at all now. They just answer their calls and thats it, no traffic stops or nothing. Hell thats what the city wants anyway.

I'm sure me and MemphisPD could respectfully disagree, but I feel North is the busiest precinct in Memphis. We dont go a day without a shooting, robbery, or car jacking.

Las Vegas is the safest place to be an officer out of what? Cities exceeding a certain population number? haha because I sure as hell know pleasanton, ca is safer to be an officer in. haha

I just did a quick look of cities 500,000 or higher.

Any place has the potential.

Is your chief just a figure at the department or what?

[GrayW4442]

In Memphis our Director (chief) is appointed by the Mayor. Our last Director was fired for takeing up for his officers. Rest assured our new Director wont make the same mistake, he wont take up for us ever. Most officers in Memphis have a "dont give a F***" attitude. And most officers, as I, dont live in the city because its so ****ty.

They have a field day in Memphis, it is open season on all law abiding citizens. And when they complain about it the mayor gets on TV and says if you dont like Memphis then leave. Well he doesnt have too tell me but once. I am in the process of looking at other departments, with laterals, now.

Gotta chime in. I am a deputy but work a metro unit and work with a lot of MPD officers. They speak the truth. You do your job, you get in trouble. It starts at the very top and rolls downhill. The sad thing is, there are a LOT of Memphis cops who would love to do some good policing, if they just wouldn't get chopped for doing it. The story about the last Police Director is gospel truth. He stood up for some officers who had done the right thing, and he lost his job over it. The Memphis mayor is fond of saying the MPD is 'his police force'.
