Explanation
* On October 1, 1993, the City of Charlotte Police Department and the Mecklenburg County Police Department were consolidated via an interlocal agreement between the City and Mecklenburg County.
* The City and County entered into an updated consolidation agreement effective July 1, 1996, which included a funding mechanism for Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD) services in the extra-territorial jurisdictions (ETJ) in Mecklenburg County. This funding mechanism included creating the Law Enforcement Service District (LESD) tax paid for by property owners in the ETJs covered by the agreement.
* The County terminated the 1996 agreement effective June 30, 2018.
* The 2018 agreement is a new police consolidation agreement that describes CMPD's responsibility to provide comprehensive policing services in the following areas outside of the City's corporate limits:
* Charlotte ETJ,
* Town of Mint Hill ETJ,
* Town of Davidson ETJ, and
* The McGuire Nuclear Power Plant.
* The Town of Davidson and the City of Charlotte have an operational agreement where Davidson patrols both the town and its ETJ in exchange for dispatch and records management services provided by CMPD at no additional charge.
* Estimated LESD revenues paid by the County for services are approximately $14 million annually, to include adjustments for natural growth, an initial five-year term, and a 23 month required notice for termination.
