Councilwoman Michalyn Easter-Thomas and the Shelby County District Attorney’s Office will host a Multi-Agency Gang Unit (MGU) Community Forum Tuesday, Feb. 11, from 6–7:30 p.m. at the Ed Rice Community Center, 2935 N. Watkins St.
The MGU is a task force made up of the Memphis Police Department, the FBI, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, the District Attorney’s Office and the U.S. Attorney’s Office. The group meets quarterly to develop strategies to combat gang-related violence in Memphis and Shelby County.
The forum will offer residents a chance to learn about the MGU’s operations, discuss approaches to tackling gang violence and engage with law enforcement officials. The event aims to foster transparency, collaboration and open dialogue between the community and law enforcement.
Community members, leaders and stakeholders are invited to attend, ask questions and contribute to the conversation on improving public safety.
