Shelby County Commissioner Erika Sugarmon is opening the floor to residents of District 12 for a candid conversation about crime and resource distribution, with a community forum titled “Issues and Answers: Crime in District 12” set for November 6 at 6:30 p.m. at New Sardis Baptist Church, located at 7739 E. Holmes Rd, Memphis, TN. The gathering aims to tackle the scarcity of critical facilities in the area, such as law enforcement substations and recreational centers, that arguably serve as a linchpin to community wellness and crime prevention.
