Here’s a sobering bit of data from the newsletter:

Violent Crime in Memphis

The following informa- tion is from the FBI Uni- form Crime Report and the US Census Bureau, for the year 2008 (the latest year with full pub- lished figures). These numbers apply to the City of Memphis, NOT the metropolitan area.

Population: 672,046
Number of Families: 158,455
Murders: 138
Forcible Rapes: 366
Robberies: 4,787
Aggravated Assaults: 7,646
Total Violent Crimes: 12,937

Thus, in that one year there was one felony violent crime for every 52 residents, and one for every 12 families. This is why preparedness is so critical. Be alert, be trained, and be armed.
