MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - In the last year, the Memphis Police Department has updated officer procedures to reduce the use of force.
“We want to take care of our city,” said Davis. “We want to make sure that it’s done in a way where we don’t have encounters, violent encounters, with police.”
Davis also spoke with WMC Action News 5 on her approach toward the use of force in police departments, an issue that made headlines after the death of George Floyd.
