A former Chicago detective has argued that Chicago should examine Memphis as a possible model for reducing violent crime. He says Memphis’s reported fall in murders after National Guard personnel were deployed could offer lessons for tackling Chicago’s continuing crime problems.

The article identifies the former officer as Eugene Roy, a retired Chicago Police Chief of Detectives, speaking to Fox News Digital. It links his proposal to a sharp decline in homicides in Memphis, although the supplied text does not provide the scale of the reduction, the timing of the deployment or evidence that the National Guard caused the change.
