Explanation
§ Since December 15, 2012, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD) and the Aviation Department have operated under a corporate security model that combines sworn law enforcement operations and non-sworn corporate security functions at the Charlotte Douglas International Airport.
§ This corporate security model allows for a collaborative approach in providing a high-level of safety and security protocol to airport passengers, tenants, and business partners on a 24 hours/7 days a week basis.
§ Due to airlines’ request, CMPD and Aviation are requesting to accelerate the multi-year staffing plan to include additional, full-time equivalent positions.
§ The estimated personnel and operating expenses for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2018, including one-time vehicle and equipment purchases, is $936,056.
§ The Aviation Department will continue to fund expenses associated with CMPD providing sworn law enforcement operations to the Charlotte Douglas International Airport. For the Fiscal Year 2018 staffing adjustment, Aviation will absorb the additional costs within its existing budget.
