Police Schedule Meeting at Steele Creek AME Zion Church August 21 (July 29, 2007) The Steele Creek Division of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department has scheduled a community meeting on Tuesday, August 21 at 7:00 P.M. at Steele Creek AME Zion Church. The church is located on Shopton Road between S Tryon Street and Beam Road, near the Steele Creek Division office and the Police Academy. Steele Creek Division Commander Diego Anselmo plans to attend, as do representatives of Charlotte Code Enforcement, Planning and Zoning, and Department of Transportation. The forum will cover code violations,, better street lighting, speeding, and more. The focus will be on the McDowell Farms and McDowell Meadows communities, but other area residents are encouraged to attend and learn more about what the Police Department and other city departments can do to help your communities. But the police can't do it all. The community must also be involved to keep our neighborhoods safe and livable. During the meeting Captain Anselmo and Community Police Officer Donna Burgess will discuss the importance of the crime watch program and how and why police respond to certain calls and not others. Residents should be aware of why the police may not respond to incidents that have already taken place. The police will follow up all cases once a case report has been generated. Pastor George Banks will talk about youth programs he plans to introduce at the church. For more information, contact Officer Burgess at 704-336-7800 or by e-mail at DBurgess@CMPD.org. |
