Violent crime in Shelby County was down by 12.16% and property crime by 4.71% for the first three months of 2008, compared to the same time period in 2006 – the Operation Safe Community baseline year.
Implementation on Operation Safe Community is well underway. This five-year action plan is backed by our top leaders and experts in law enforcement, government, business and academia in partnership with dozens of community-based organizations across the county. Progress can be seen in smart policing, aggressive prosecution, and comprehensive law enforcement/community partnerships.
