Partnerships
Victims of domestic assaults, vandalism perpetrated by an intimate partner, and stalking meet one-on-one with a citizens dispute counselor to assess their needs and receive referrals for social service assistance. Working closely with the Memphis Police Department, the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office, and the Shelby County District Attorney General’s office, the Citizen's Dispute Section processes the orders of protection in Shelby County.
