January 13, 2015 - Sheriff Willis Blackwell reports the Shelby County Sheriff's Office for the 2014 year received a total of 7,991 calls for service. This is a decline from 2013 which had a total of 9,316 calls for service. (This number does not include walk-ins or on view incidents).
Sheriff Blackwell states a more active patrol with agencies working together and complete investigations, as well as help from the community, is credited for the decline. When you have law enforcement working together with the community support, a lot can be accomplished.
