Crime in Memphis Tennessee

Get Street-Level Insights

Memphis, Tennessee, has a rich tapestry of history, with its roots deep in the cotton trade and the blues music scene. Crime in Memphis has been a concern, with fluctuating rates affecting various areas of the city. Despite this, efforts towards revitalization and community engagement have been underway to enhance safety and reduce crime. Memphis is renowned for being the home of Graceland, the abode of Elvis Presley, which has solidified its reputation as a must-visit for music lovers. 

In recent years, the city has seen a mix of peaceful protests and social movements aimed at addressing systemic issues, offering a picture of its active civic engagement and the resilience of its communities. Being located along the Mississippi River has also contributed to its strategic importance, which historically included the shipping and cargo industry, now imparting a unique character to the city.

The "Bluff City," as Memphis is also called due to its location atop the Mississippi River's bluffs, is known for its contribution to the civil rights movement and the tragic assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Today, the city combines its historical past with a vibrant present, working to address contemporary concerns, including crime in Memphis, while promoting its cultural heritage.

  • National Civil Rights Museum: Attend with a companion and stay aware of your surroundings, especially during events or rallies.
