WHY NOT SHED THE NATIONAL SPOTLIGHT ON THE CRIME IN MEMPHIS? I WAS JUST RECENTLY ROBBED & I WAS TOLD BY THE ROBBERY DETECTIVE THAT IF I WANTED MORE PATROLMEN IN MY AREA I SHOULD CALL THE POLICE. GO FIGURE...WE ALREADY HAVE A CORRUPT GOVERNMENT AND THIS CITY IS NOT ANY DIFFERENT...THEY NEED TO STEP UP AND DO WHAT THEY HAVE TO DO TO PROTECT THE CITIZENS OF THIS CITY. WHY ARE THEY SO SCARED? OR IS IT NOT IN THE BUDGET? I THOUGHT THE CITY HAD A SAVINGS ACCOUNT.......OH WELL. KEEP THE CITIZENS AWARE, TAKE PREVENTITVE MEASURES AND DON'T ACT LIKE NOTHING IS WRONG OR GOING ON. DO YOUR JOBS GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS

I thought it was nice to see Memphis on 48 hours.  Finally we saw progress as the detectives worked and solved crimes.  If nothing else we saw a positive side of our police departments.  If the City Council is scared of how Memphis is portrayed, then maybe they should collaborate with other government officials and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, instead of trying to hide the problems from the rest of the country.  If everyone in government would stop trying to pad their pockets and do what they were elected to do then this city would be in much better shape!!

ive watched the show for a couple of years and thought it was very imformant to the residents in memphis to be informed about crime around their city. some news stations (not 24&30) only show a brief part of homicides,the first 48 gave more details about the clues that were found like shoes or jackets that could possibly help us help them. Im gonna really miss that show well we still have "AMERICAS MOST WANTED" Memphis just might be on there next !

The crime in Memphis is ridiculous. What type of sense does it make for  criminals to have rights, and IF they go to jail they have recreational activities, visitors, phone calls, privileges. WHY? It would not change how I feel if someone in my family was incarcerated. I have already been through that with a family member. If you have the heart to cause another person pain and anguish you do not deserve to walk away free. I do not understand why anyone would not want people to know about the crime in the city that they live in. It is not something that was made up. IT IS THE TRUTH! OOPS I FORGOT  SOME GOVERMENT OFFICIALS DO NOT KNOW WHAT THAT IS. THEY ARE TOO BUSY TAKING BRIBES FOR FAVORS. THEY DON'T  KNOW THE MEANING OF THE WORD HONEST. I do not see anything wrong with 48 hours, it keeps people informed of the seriousness of being aware of their surroundings at all times. Let the truth be known, IT IS WHAT IT IS.  

Homocide - the only part of the Memphis police Department that thoroughly investigates and works a crime until it is solved.  Get a gun pulled on you - they take a report and never follow up, people threaten you in your front yard - they don't even take a report and say "call back if anything happens" yeah right I am going to have a seance'.  Lazy fat ROAD cops.

These cops in homocide bust their @$$ and get the job done.

Errr Homicide

I LOVE WATCHING THE FIRST 48 ESPECIALLY WHEN MEMPHIS IS ON.
IT EXPOSES THE TRUTH ABOUT MEMPHIS AND OUR BLACK COMMUNITY. THIS CITY WILL SET YOU BACK & INSTEAD OF TRYING TO MOVE FORWARD IN A POSITIVE WAY OUR DUMB BLACK A$$E$  ALLOW THIS TYPE OF STUPIDITY TO GO ON, BY KILLING EACH OTHER, STABBING EACH OTHER, ROBBING INNOCENT PEOPLE. INSTEAD OF LEARNING HOW TO MAKE 100K A YEAR, YOU RATHER KILL A PERSON FOR 20 DOLLARS OR OVER A FUNKY A$$ GIRL THAT CAN BEARLY CLEAN HER OWN A$$, HELL, PROBABLY CANT MAKE THER OWN DECISIONS. KEEP THE SHOW PLEASE.

THE CRIME IN MEMPHIS IS CONSTANTLY GROWING& WITH THE HELP OF THE FIRST 48 HOURS, IT GIVES THE CITIZENS OF MEMPHIS A CHANCE TO SEE FIRST HAND WHAT THEY HEAR ON THE NEWS ON  A DAILY BASIS!! IT EXPOSES MEMPHIS, AND IN ALL HONESTY IT NEEDS TO BE EXPOSED. MAYBE WITH THIS SHOW IT WILL LET THESE IDIOTS WALKING AROUND HERE COMMITTING THESE SENSELESS CRIMES, TO THINK ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND THE CONSQUENCES OF THEIR ACTIONS. IT'S JUST RIDICULOUS THAT PEOPLE ACTUALLY COMMITT THESE CRIMES AND THINK THEY ARE GOING TO GET AWAY WITH IT. THIS SHOW WOULD HOPEFULLY OPEN UP ALOT OF EYES OF THOSE WHO DON'T THINK CRIME EXISTS AROUND THEM& TO THOSE WHO PLAN ON ACTING ON THESE CRIMES. IT'S JUST PITIFUL THAT WE ARE HAVING THIS MUCH CRIME WITH ALL THE POLICE OFFICERS THAT ARE EMPLOYED IN THE CITY OF MEMPHIS. I THINK IF THERE WERE ATLEAST 3 OFFICERS PATROLING NEIGHBORHOODS AROUND THE CITY, THEN THERE WOULD BE LESS MURDERS TO SOLVE. THE THING IS THESE DAYS CRIMINALS SEE THE LACK OF PROTECTION FROM THE POLICE, WHICH MAKES IT EASIER FOR THEM TO COMMIT THESE CRIMES!! THIS MADNESS HAS TO STOP, THERE ARE TO MANY INNOCENT PEOPLE BEING KILLED OF SUCH STUPID THINGS. I JUST WISH INSTEAD OF ALL THE VIOLENCE, WHY NOT HUG AND LOVE ON YOUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS?!! AT THE END OF THE DAY I LOVE THE FIRST 48 HOURS& TO ME I VIEW IT AS A INFORMATIONAL PROGRAM, I DON'T SEE HOW PEOPLE BELIEVE IT'S PAINTING A BAD PICTURE FOR MEMPHIS. IF THEY REMOVE THE SHOW, DOES THAT MEAN THE CRIME IS GOING TO STOP? DOES THAT MEAN THAT IT WON'T EXIST ANYMORE? THE ANSWER IS NO!! WHETHER THE SHOW IS TAKEN OFF OR NOT, MEMPHIS WILL STILL BE A CITY FULL OF CRIME, UNTIL OUR CITY LEADERS STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND TAKE OVER THE CITY AGAIN!!!!!!! KEEP THE SHOW PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT HELPS THE INNOCENT AND MAY BE HELPING THE GUILTY!!!
