CHARLOTTE, N.C. (Sept. 21, 2017) – The City of Charlotte
will welcome representatives from the Police Foundation next month as the
Foundation continues its work to finalize the critical incident review of
CMPD’s response to the September 2016 demonstrations.
The Police Foundation will provide a presentation during the
Oct. 2 City Council dinner briefing about the Foundation’s assessment. The
representatives will also meet with a stakeholder group as well as other
community leaders during their time in Charlotte.
The City of Charlotte publicly released the draft
critical incident review on Tuesday. In the coming weeks, the Police
Foundation will continue its work and will include additional information as
the report is finalized.
“We look forward to continued insight from the Police
Foundation,” said City Manager Marcus D. Jones. “I am proud of CMPD Chief Kerr
Putney for his leadership and for inviting this objective assessment.”
The Police Foundation is an independent, non-partisan and
non-membership organization dedicated to improving policing through innovation
and science.
