...or "How I spent my Saturday night"
Over 50 law enforcement agencies came together this weekend for Operation Sudden Impact (they said my name for it wasn’t PC enough). In any case, a whole boatload of the Po-Po got together and ran gang interdictions, traffic saturations, drug sweeps, fugitive searches, and some other things I can’t tell you about for a 24 hour period.
It was fun. More about it here.
On the serious side, we now know the mid-south agencies can work together and bring a LOT of police presence and firepower down on a given area if we ever need to do it in a hurry.

Thank you for the work you do! I'm a Memphis native, relative of former MPD officers, and worked in law enforcement myself. I really enjoy reading your blog. My entire family still lives in Memphis and I go home as often as I can. It's sad to see what's become of my hometown. You guys are to be commended for the hard work you put in. Love your commentary!!!
I’ve been lurking for a while now, but I have to ditto what the first Anon said. You have a way of communicating the police mindset in a way the average Jill can relate to. I appreciate it and I look at cops a little differently now. You guys (most of you anyway) are trying your best. It can’t be any easy job. Thanks.
Thank you both. People like you are why most officers do the job.
