Memphis Police Director Michael Rallings is reviewing a list of 81 citizens who cannot come to City Hall without a police escort to wherever they are going in the building after Memphis Mayor Jim Strickland requested the review Saturday, Feb. 18.

And while Strickland signed a set of lists in January that amount to no-trespassing legal orders at his house for those named, his office said Saturday, Feb. 18, the legal order was for his home and not City Hall with police brass adding those names to the City Hall escort list later.

The review comes after The Commercial Appeal requested the list and published it Friday.

“I have never seen the security list at City Hall,” Strickland said in a written statement Saturday. “And it is my understanding that this type of security list for City Hall was created years ago by MPD.”

The list includes some who participated in a December “die-in” protest called by the Memphis Coalition of Concerned Citizens at Strickland’s home. It also includes citizens involved in a variety of protests in the last year from the July Black Lives Matter protest that shut down the Hernando DeSoto Bridge to the Overton Park Greensward protests and including the August BLM protest at Graceland’s annual candlelight vigil as well as the January protest at the Valero refinery over a proposed oil pipeline to the refinery.

The list takes in activists who have met with Strickland and been involved in recent protests on a number of causes.

The day after the Jan. 16 protest at Valero, Memphis Police Lt. A. Bonner issued a list of 14 people who were either arrested or appear to have been involved in the Valero protest that Bonner declares “have by personal communication from me or someone else with authority to act for me been ordered to stay off the described property.” The heading of the memo reads: “The following people have to be escorted at all times while inside City Hall.”

Strickland did not sign that list.

He did sign four lists on Jan. 4, several weeks after the December “die-in” protest at his home that specifically bars those named from his home address.

The fill-in-the-blanks police department form is known as an “authorization of agency” that amounts to a no trespassing legal order for whatever property is written into the order.

At the top of three of the four lists Bonner had handwritten: “Also have to be escorted while in City Hall.”

One of the three lists with the additional notation by Bonner is dated Jan. 4, the same day Strickland completed and signed the form.

Strickland’s statement Saturday specifically notes that the MPD added the names from the authorization of agency on Strickland’s home to the City Hall escort list.

“No one has been denied entry or access to City Hall,” Strickland said in his statement. “I have heard the concerns about the list, so I have asked Director Rallings to thoroughly review the policy and meet with me next week to discuss next steps.”

Garner was arrested by police in January as he watched and video recorded the protest at the Valero refinery entrance, the second time he’s been arrested by police for recording them. The first arrest prompted then Police Director Toney Armstrong to issue a memo to officers telling them that they could not arrest a citizen for recording them.
