The Public Safety Ad Hoc Committee meeting held on April 24, 2025, in Shelby County, Tennessee, focused on community support initiatives and upcoming events aimed at addressing local needs.

The meeting began with discussions about a planned service day for local service providers, scheduled for May. This initiative, organized by Chair Kaswa and supported by various community leaders, aims to provide massage therapy, counseling, and other support services to those in need. The event will take place at The Kingdom, located at 4100 Old Raleigh Military Road. The committee emphasized the importance of supporting community members, particularly in light of recent tragedies affecting local families, including the loss experienced by a pastor in the Frasier area.

Chair Kaswa highlighted the collaborative effort involving several local leaders, including Commissioner Love, State Representative Parkinson, and Councilwomen Logan and Michael Easter Thomas. The committee is actively seeking additional massage therapists and volunteers to enhance the support offered during this event.

In addition to the service day, the committee discussed an upcoming event at the Hilton hotel, which has already reached full capacity. Despite being sold out, the committee expressed a desire to include more community members and indicated that arrangements could be made for additional seating.

The meeting concluded with a call for any further announcements, underscoring the committee's commitment to fostering community engagement and support in Shelby County. The next steps involve finalizing details for the service day and ensuring that the community is informed and involved in these initiatives.
