Ex-Chicago detective highlights crime decline model
A former Chicago detective suggests that Chicago should emulate Memphis, where homicides declined by 43.7% after the deployment of the National Guard with federal cooperation. Memphis saw a significant drop in homicides in the first half of 2026 compared to the previous year, attributed to effective partnership between local, state, and federal agencies. Chicago's police force faces a shortage and reduced training capacity due to a budget shortfall, hindering efforts to combat crime. Experts believe increasing federal collaboration and deploying the National Guard could help reduce Chicago's violence, similar to Memphis's experience.
