@TBradleyNC@RepMarkHarrisNC No. There is a common phrase CMPD’s dispatchers say, “no units available city wide.” This means there is not one officer clear to take any call anywhere in the city. This happens nearly every day.

Our foundation is helping to raise money for Officer Rightsell, who was significantly injured when a motorhome traveling on I-485 collided with the back of Officer Rightsell’s parked patrol car. Please consider donating if you are able!
@BraxtonWinston@USMarshalsHQ@CMPD If we remember correctly, didn't you vote against new guns for @CMPD AND also voted against a budget item that would have provided ammunition to @CMPD as well? You have never been "publicly" friendly to the police, so why start now?

On August 26th we sponsored our annual Cops & Kids event at the Northlake area Target. Each year we sponsor families throughout Mecklenburg County and provide them with $75 per child to use to purchase critical school supplies.
This year we were able to sponsor 121 kids!
Jalen Johnson was out of jail on pretrial release when he shot a bail bondsman yesterday,despite being arrested (and released) for orders for arrest issued. Judge Elizabeth Trosch,how is it that he again was given a bond on the same charges he's failed to comply with previously?
First annual adoption event! Come out to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg FOP lodge for a great event as we partner with Animal Control and our Dispatch Recruiters. #PuppiesAndPolice

SHAMEFUL: To allow a public fundraiser to take place for a #CopKiller who senselessly murdered Milwaukee Police Officer Peter Jerving is disgraceful.
@gofundme can you explain why you're allowing a fundraiser to take place for a #CopKiller?!

What to take away:
⚠️ https://t.co/tQgPHjdnBD reduced this DV suspect’s bond to a mere $5,000.
⚠️Forte was released on an electronic Monitor for similar crimes when this occurred.
⚠️Mecklenburg County Judge, Jennifer Fleet’s liberal agenda is more important than Women’s safety.
This type of crime inconveniences hard working Charlotteans. And it is becoming an ever increasing problem! We need the support of City Government to more effectively handle these issues that are impacting our community.

These types of illegal street racing and “road takeovers” continue to happen in Charlotte and other major cities alike.
And unfortunately they will continue for 2 reasons.

The low bond amounts are also typically “unsecured” bonds. Which means that the offender STILL does NOT have to post bond. Rather, you simply sign yourself out. And only if you fail to appear on your court date will you have to post a bond after being re-arrested.
