Chief of Police

[Kerr Putney @chiefputney]

I am humbled by the response yesterday of @CMPD, @UNCCpolice and a multitude of other state and federal agencies to the tragedy on the campus @unccharlotte. I could not be more proud of our organization and all of the first responders.

I look forward to seeing our panelist @MelissaMBaker2 launch a parent support group through CMPD’s support services. Those interested in supporting her endeavor with energy please reach out. #BridgeCLT (2/2)

We had a powerful #BridgingtheDifference event last night in South Charlotte re: the #opioidcrisis and provided important resources to the community. (1/2)

I am disappointed that a member of our department has fallen short of our organization’s high standards.

[Kerr Putney @chiefputney]

Today we arrested one of our own for falsifying his time sheet. I expect all of our employees to conduct themselves with integrity and honor that our profession deserves. We will always hold ourselves accountable.

[Kerr Putney @chiefputney]

Public safety is a shared responsibility that requires effort by the police, the community and our partners. I am personally asking all members of our community to assist us in this effort. Together we will make our community a safe one. @CMPD

@cmpd has investigated 25 homicides year to date. 19 of these involve victims who knew their killers. 23 involve guns. This has to stop

Please join me at 820 this morning on @wbtradio with @patmccrorync and @cpisecurity Ken Gill as we talk about the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Foundation! #bethedifference

Proud of the way our community and officers stepped up the past week as our city was put on display for the #NBAAllStar game. The world got to see we are an exceptional city. #thecharlotteway #bethedifference

Great police work by everyone @cmpd this evening by addressing and responding to the numerous ATV’s that were driving recklessly and dangerously through our streets. Our team was able to prevent serious injury to our citizens and made several arrests. Excellent work!

[Kerr Putney @chiefputney]

Very proud of the professionalism, restraint and outstanding police work by our officers today! Their efforts were performed with the highest regard for the safety of all. I am proud of this effort, but not at all surprised. #cmpd #bethedifference
