Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Encourage More Black Residents To Complete Police Reform Survey
Many of us have heard the plight of African-Americans and the relationship or lack thereof with police officers in and around the Charlotte community. That’s one of the reasons the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department wants to hear from residents, especially the Black community, and their thoughts on police reform.
CMPD has created a seven-question survey that will help leadership map out a strategy for making changes within the department. Currently, the “8 Can’t Wait” campaign is underway. It’s a national initiative of eight policies that restrict the use of excessive police force.
CMPD officials say so far, the majority of feedback they received from their survey is from white women. In order to get a fair assessment of procedures, practices, and other ideas, they want to hear from more Black residents. Everyone is encouraged to take the survey. CMPD says it wants to get input from all sectors of the community. Click here for the survey.
