MPD’s Uniform Patrol Station SOP

Recently we got documents from Memphis Police Department using “Authorization of Agency” as a search key, and we obtained an excerpt of MPD’s “Uniform Patrol Station Standard Operating Procedure”.    The extract was very helpful as it outlined the procedures for Authorization of Agency, which we wrote up in our blog.

MPD Authorization of Agency Regulations

Authorization of Agency (AoA) is a pair of processes at Memphis Police Department and the DA’s office, which are designed to circumvent provisions in the Tennessee criminal trespass law, TCA § 39-14-405.  AoA is designed to enhance public safety by controlling unwanted citizens who access private business property. We have written extensively about one AoA […]

MultiAgency Gang Unit (MGU)

The Multi-Agency Gang Unit (MGU) is a mysterious multi-disciplinary police and prosecutor unit sponsored by the Shelby County (State District 30) District Attorney. Click here for a PDF download of the above link. According to the DA’s website, MGU was started in 2011 and absorbed the Crime Strategies Prosecution Unit (CSPU), “incorporating and expanding the […]

MPD ignores Monitor, abuses woman

Maureen Spain is a busy soccer mom and a nurse who finds time to engage in local issues.   We encountered Ms Spain several times before.   She was arrested at the Greensward on Memorial Day 2016, by Richard Rouse who was looking for brownie points for promotion to sergeant.   The day following her arrest, she was […]

Authorization of Agency Update

We wrote about Authorization of Agency (AoA) last year, providing source data, collations and some analysis of almost 1,700 Authorization of Agency reports, obtained by public records request from Memphis Police Department (Est 1827). We recently received another 473 AoA forms covering July 2018 to July 2019.   We collated the data in a spreadsheet, which […]

Sawyer and the SCSD Armored Truck

Tami Sawyer, in her Shelby County Commission role, moved two motions on December 3rd, 2018, to secure a Lenco Bearcat armored truck for the Shelby County sheriff’s department. We received the following documents from the County via Open Records request. Motion moved by Tami Sawyer (PDF) to accept $196,038 from FEMA towards the purchase of […]

2019 Council Candidates Scored

We reported on the behind-the-scenes manipulations of Caissa Public Strategy back in 2017. Our identification of the Caissa Seven at the time had predictive value, although we overestimated Kemp Conrad’s Caissa spend at a time when some documents were unavailable at the Election Commission. We also missed a year-end 2014 contribution of $500 by Caissa […]

Berlin Boyd: The Donald Trump of Lies

City councilman Berlin Boyd was fast tracked into public office as a result of two prior appointments before getting elected to serve a full four-year term in 2015 as the city council representative for District 7. Like some, I hoped he’d rise to the occasion. His early ambition to move forward on the Mow to […]

MPD documents from ACLU Lawsuit.

The 2018 lawsuit which ACLU fought and won has produced tens of thousands of pages of documents. “On March 2, 2017, the American Civil Liberties Union of Tennessee intervened in Blanchard v. City of Memphis, a lawsuit challenging the City of Memphis’ creation of a list of people, including multiple members of the Black Lives Matter […]

Thurston Smith: Liar, Bully and Worse.

Readers of our City Council Election blog may have noticed that, instead of writing about Thurston Smith, I inserted a legal disclaimer.   Now I can reveal the full story. On the fifth of July I was served with a temporary Order of Protection (PDF) filed by Thurston Smith.   The order is a tissue of lies, […]
