🚨 National Guard Patrols Begin Friday The City of Memphis has confirmed that National Guard troops will officially begin patrolling this Friday as part of a joint safety effort with MPD and federal agencies. Officials say the troops will be stationed in “high-traffic and high-visibility areas” to serve as a deterrent, not to make arrests. The move comes as part of the city’s ongoing strategy to reduce crime and restore public confidence — though the deployment continues to spark debate about visibility, safety, and community impact. 📸: AP / Adrian Sainz Via dailymemphian #UnapologeticallyMemphis #MemphisNews #901 #NationalGuard #BluffCityUpdate
