Tennessee District Attorneys

314,000 arrests.
718,000 cases.
1,134 cases per prosecutor.

Tennessee’s justice system is being pushed to its limits, and violent crime demands more than just arrests. It demands action, resources, and strategies that work.

Today, the Tennessee District Attorneys General Conference launched Project Safe Tennessee, a statewide initiative using real data and evidence-based solutions to fight violent crime and strengthen public safety across all 32 judicial districts.

Safer communities don’t happen by chance. They happen when prosecutors have the tools to hold violent offenders accountable and protect Tennessee families.

This is what service looks like: meeting needs, lifting communities, and standing up for Tennessee families.
