Commission approves juvenile court ‘reporting center’ for first-time offenders
Shelby County Commissioner Amber Mills voted against a Civilian Law Enforcement Review Committee.“People are murdered just about every single day in Memphis and Shelby County and we’re going to pass legislation to protect us from law enforcement,” she said. (Patrick Lantrip/The Daily Memphian file)
Children selected for the center will be awaiting juvenile court decisions or adjudications of their cases; the minors will come in groups of 16, with six cohorts a year at the facility. The County Commission also approved a Citizen Law Enforcement Review Committee.
