Steady Leadership in Changing Times
This week, Memphis Mayor Paul Young confirmed that Chief C.J. Davis will remain the city’s top law enforcement officer as the National Guard arrives to support local law enforcement. Memphians are no strangers to change, but they also know the value of steady leadership — especially when it comes to protecting our neighborhoods from Downtown to the Edge District and everywhere in between.

Chief Davis staying on as MPD chief helps maintain the unique community spirit that makes our city stand out. As the National Guard takes up a supporting role, Memphians can rest easier knowing their police department, under Davis’s leadership, continues to guide day-to-day safety efforts.
