Stay Safe Amidst Rising Concerns

In a *different vein*, the Tennessee Attorney General announced that the state will receive up to $42.9 million for opioid abatement. This news is a step in the right direction for addressing a crisis that has affected too many families across the Mid-South. We can only hope that this funding leads to better resources for those in need.

Community Engagement and Crime Watch

In light of recent events, the need for community engagement grows stronger. There have been various reports regarding gun violence in our area. To make matters worse, there’s a driver still at large following a fatal hit-and-run crash that has authorities on high alert. The Memphis Police Department (MPD) is actively investigating and urging anyone with information to step forward. Every little bit helps, Memphis!
