@PierceMfg Chaska getting ready for the 2029 Ryder Cup with that grill!

In 2000, Raleigh's population was ~290,000. Today it is estimated to be ~517,000.

Negative growth of RPD is senseless.

For comparison, as of 2024, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD) has 1,633 sworn officers and 525 civilian staff, covering 438 square miles and a population of over 1 million people. It is the largest police department between Washington, D.C., and Atlanta.

Note that CMPD covers the city and unincorporated areas of Mecklenburg County.

@FireRescueTV Images like this are much better than the AI generated images. The AI images end up looking like inaccurate cartoons, and are really not fitting to some of the historic tragedies being remembered. Just one guy's opinion - appreciated your dedication as always.

Over the weekend, Station 3 officially marked 4,000 calls this year! The most ever for any fire station.

It’s the smallest, oldest, and busiest.
