Memphis Police Charges - Statement by Chief Troy Cooper

Yesterday we learned that five fired police officers in the United States were charged with second degree murder and other offences. This was the result of the killing of a young Black man named Tyre Nichols after a traffic stop in Memphis Tennessee earlier this month.Over the past few days as we learned of this event, I have reached out to local Black community leaders to discuss the issue and offer support. Although this tragedy occurred in another country, it will impact trust and confidence
