Jana Swearingen Washington, chairwoman-elect of the Memphis City Council, said the council began its day in the Public Safety and Homeland Security Committee and that the Memphis Police Department provided an October-to-date crime briefing. "I'm pleased to say crime is down in all categories," she said.

The remark was the council's only crime-related statistic in the transcript; no numerical breakdowns or comparative timeframes were supplied. The committee update was framed as an informational briefing rather than a formal action item in the transcript.

Council leadership did not provide further data in the recorded remarks, and no vote or directive tied to the briefing appears in the transcript. The council's outreach materials promoted engagement and directed residents to the council's social channels for more information.
