The MPD is...
A multidimensional agency and one of the
most progressive police departments in the nation. A premier agency staffed with officers
who are innovative, highly trained, technically proficient, and culturally sensitive.
The MPD is dedicated to preserving the
public safety for all citizens of Memphis. We are fortunate to have on staff a complement
of dedicated, professional officers and civilians committed to this goal.
As a pro-active community policing
agency, the Memphis Police Department has made great strides in providing safe
environments for the citizens of Memphis while developing strong partnerships within the
community.
We also employ 441 civilians including dispatchers,
police service technicians, administrators, mechanics, clerks, neighborhood watch
coordinators, and school crossing guards.
