Description: CMPD believes the community and its stakeholders should have the greatest voice in issues concerning their neighborhoods. Community meetings and safety forums are the perfect venue to present these issues. It is also an opportunity for CMPD officers to engage in conversation with those they serve and provide feedback on crime and quality of life concerns. This calendar will keep residents informed on events in their neighborhoods.
Description: The CMPD Diversion Program offers first time offenders ages 6 to 17 an opportunity to have their cases diverted from the Juvenile Justice system while maintaining accountability for delinquent acts and providing appropriate supports to redirect behavior. Youth referred to the program are assessed and assigned to an appropriate workshop consisting of 8 hours of interpersonal skills building accompanied by a parent or guardian while the youth can have weekly contacts with their School Resource Officer. The goal is for youth to improve personal decision-making skills and empower the families through education, direction, and guidance. The CMPD Diversion Program helps reduce the use of formal processing and incarceration, improve public safety, avoid wasteful spending, reduce racial and ethnic disparities, and limit the collateral consequences youth encounter through exposure to the juvenile justice system.

Description: An Officer Involved Shooting (OIS) is the discharge of a firearm, whether accidental or intentional, by a police officer, whether on or off duty. For the purposes of this posting, an OIS will only refer to the instances in which an officer discharged a firearm at a person. CMPD posts Officer Involved Shootings in an effort to create greater transparency of the actions of our employees. It is important to us that members of the community are informed whenever an officer discharges his/her firearm at a person and whether the shooting follows department policies and procedures. We believe that your trust and confidence in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department will increase as you understand what our officers encounter and how we hold them accountable for their actions. The CMPD is continuously reviewing and improving our practices to reduce the likelihood of deadly force incidents.

Description: CMPD conducts an average of 120,000 traffic stops per year. Under North Carolina state law (G.S. 143B-902-903), the CMPD as well as other law enforcement agencies in the state are required to collect information on all traffic stops, the reason for the stop, and the type of enforcement action taken. Information on the driver’s sex, race, ethnicity, and age is collected, compiled, and reported to the NC Department of Justice. Information on whether the driver or passenger(s) were searched is also collected. For more information, please visit http://charlottenc.gov/CMPD/Pages/Resources/OpenData_Source.aspx CMPD is committed to deploying traffic officers to areas where we experience high crime and victimization. Our focus is also in the geographical areas where concerns are reported by community members. We as a police department have a responsibility to those communities, to address their concerns and take appropriate enforcement action in an effort to keep their neighborhoods safe. Additionally, we are not only reacting to crime but proactively engaging in strategies that are intended to prevent criminal activity from occurring by placing officers in areas with a greater statistical history of crime.
