Celebrating Community Safety

Body

Staff Resource(s):

Kerr Putney, Police

Time:  30 minutes                     

Explanation

§                     Consistent with the President’s Task Force on 21^st Century Policing, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD) has been a leader in community policing. Community policing emphasizes working with neighborhood residents to promote public safety. CMPD works with community residents to identify problems and collaborate on implementing solutions that produce meaningful results for the community.

§                     Recommendations 1.1 and 1.2 from the Police Foundation Report also reinforce that CMPD should continue to build on the tradition of community policing by identifying and engaging in opportunities and strategies that promote effective dialogue between CMPD and the community.

§                     This presentation will provide an update on some of the current community partnership activities and programs.

Future Action

The City has launched a new effort for City Council to be given an opportunity to share City Community Engagement events to help build awareness and participation throughout the community.
