Bill > HJR1094

This concurrent resolution congratulates Governor Bill Lee for his decision to deploy the Tennessee National Guard to Memphis. The resolution highlights that this deployment was in response to the creation of the Memphis Safe Task Force, an initiative aimed at significantly reducing street and violent crime through enhanced policing and investigations. It acknowledges that the National Guard's presence helped alleviate pressure on the Memphis Police Department, which was described as understaffed, by providing additional support and observation. The resolution further commends the success of the Memphis Safe Task Force, citing achievements such as numerous arrests, the seizure of illegal firearms, a reduction in violent crime, the recovery of stolen property, and the location of missing children, and also thanks the National Guard members for their service in protecting the state's citizens.
