Memphis Police Department Marks One Year of Success with Downtown Command Center, Driving Major Crime Reduction
One year ago today, the Memphis Police Department opened the Downtown Command Center (DCC), a key investment in strengthening public safety and enhancing real-time response across downtown Memphis.
Since the opening of the Downtown Command Center, overall crime in downtown Memphis has decreased by more than 55%.
Since its launch, the DCC has become a critical tool in crime reduction and investigative support. Monitoring more than 300 cameras in real time, the center provides officers with immediate access to live intelligence. When suspicious or criminal activity is identified, officers are quickly alerted and equipped with real-time updates and detailed suspect information as they respond.
