Our precinct officers are working hard each day for us. But, we must do all we can to protect ourselves and to help them and help our neighbors. This precinct is one of the largest in Memphis, so these men and women have a lot of ground to cover. 

You can help greatly by knowing your neighbors. Introduce yourself and keep an eye out for each other.
