Data from the Action News 5 and The Commercial Appeal have reported on these statistics.
Memphis, Tennessee has seen a decrease in overall crime in 2025 compared to previous years, although the crime rate still remains high in comparison to the national average.
Here's
a breakdown of the crime situation in Memphis for the first half of 2025, based
on available information:
· Overall Crime: The
Memphis Shelby Crime Commission reports a decrease in overall major violent
crime of nearly 9% and a decrease in property crime of almost 20% in the first
three months of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.
· Violent Crime: The
violent crime rate declined by 8.8% in Q1 2025 compared to Q1 2024, according to the Memphis Shelby Crime
Commission.
· Property
Crime: Property crime saw a significant decrease of nearly 20% compared to
the first three months of 2024.
· Homicides: The
homicide rate was 4% lower in the first half of 2025 than in the first half of
2024. However, Memphis' homicide rate was still 58% higher in the first half of
2025 compared to the first half of 2019 (pre-pandemic).
· Specific Crime Types:
o Vehicle thefts dropped
by 35% in both Memphis and Shelby County compared to 2024.
o Robbery rates decreased
by 18% in the first half of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.
· Concerns: While overall crime is decreasing, data also indicates that guns were used more frequently in violent crimes during the first months of 2025 compared to the same time last year. Additionally, despite the decrease in homicides, Memphis continues to have a high homicide rate per capita. In 2024, Memphis had the highest violent crime and property crime rates in the U.S., with the third-highest murder rate.

Trump has had several Republican States invite a “clean-up”. Louisiana wants to clean up New Orleans. Trump is waiting for Chicago and California to invite a “clean-up, but these states have Democrat Governors and Democrat Mayors and are not anxious to have a “Trump clean-up”. They do want Federal Money and are sure to misspend it.
So far the DC “clean-up” is working. ICE has arrested Illegal Criminals and retained them for deportation. The National Guard has been helpful working as MPs. Many Criminals moved out of DC to Maryland and Virginia when the “clean-up” began.

Cities
frequently cited for high crime rates in 2025 include Memphis,
TN; St. Louis, MO; Baltimore, MD; and Detroit, MI. These
cities consistently appear on various "most dangerous" lists, often
due to factors like gang violence, property crime, and carjackings. While
national crime rates have generally been declining, these major urban centers
continue to have disproportionately high rates of violent crime. Cities

Comments
Trump may respond to Republican Governors who want their cities to have a “clean-up”, while he waits for Democrat Governors to respond. Democrats are objecting to Trump’s National Guard presence. St. Louis Mo is on Trump’s radar.
Chicago residents are requesting a “clean-up”, but their Democrat Governors and Mayors are objecting. For now, Trump is letting the Democrats stew in their juice.
ICE raids to lock up and deport Illegal Criminal Illegals continues across the US with or without National Guard MPs.
