SCPD partnered with Memphis Public Libraries to launch a Know-Your-Rights series — free, plain-language workshops held at branches across the city. Sessions cover interactions with police, court basics, and how to request a public defender.

The series is part of the office’s commitment to meeting the community where it already gathers.
