“The new Fugitive Unit will augment the great job that our officers do each day to make Memphis a safe place for people to live, work and visit,” Chief Cerelyn Davis said.
The new unit has corralled 62 violent fugitives over the past 30 days, according to the chief.
The new webpage not only has the latest information about wanted suspects but allows people to submit tips to CrimeStoppers.
