Ballantyne, NC – Officer Colin Cumberworth has become my go-to contact with Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department and he’s provided me with some information on some of the issues currently affecting the Ballantyne area. One such issue, according to Cumberworth, is that of solicitors in Mecklenburg County, which will be a feature of the upcoming April newsletter.
The March Newsletter dealt particularly with the issue of home and vehicle break-ins in the area. In several instances a neighbor saw something suspcious, but didn’t call 911 until later. We need to be good neighbors and report anything suspicious at the time it is happening. As the weather gets warmer, more people will be outside and more eyes to keep a watch on the neighborhood. Don’t forget to keep your garage doors closed though!
CMPD will be at several HOA meetings this month as well as the Ballantyne Breakfast Club on April 10th for a short update about Ballantyne area crime stats and safety tips.
Officer Cumberworth also shared with me CMPD’s sites with good information on Personal Safety and Home Safety
