The worst PD in the USA, second to Huntersville, NC. All young cops who are truly scared to do…read moreanything more than write a speeding ticket or issue a DUI. This department (Cornelius PD) didn't process DNA properly at a crime scene in 2009 for one of my family members. They were not trained properly. Ruined the case. Regarding the case of (Michael RayCherry) he only spent 2.5 years behind bars because of the "lack of training" from the Cornelius PD. Shameful. It was so shameful, our family moved out of the LKN area after 26 years. If we can't depend on the police force to keep us safe, and they sure didn't process DNA and evidence correctly, which means they didn't do their job properly, and we pay taxes to have a strong, knowledgeable police force, we don't want to live in your town. Pathetic Jennifer and her team should have all been fired! Even the Judge said they, (Cornelius PD)who were assigned to this case, dropped the ball. I'll forever hold you accountable for your lack of during this horrendous case.

this review is in response to the officer that responded to the animal abuse call of a dog in a car…read morewith temperatures in the 90's. the officer who responded to a call for help in saving this dog life by being kept in a car during high heat without open windows, water, etc.....was nasty, disrespectful, intimidated the caller who reported the dangerous condition. treated the person who called as a criminal. continually asked the abusers of the dog if they wanted to press charges against the woman who gave their dog water. never pressed charges against the abusers who left their dog in a hot car on a hot day. this officer needs to be psycho re-evaluated and immediately put on desk duty.....without a gun. video evidence clearly shows animal abuse...yet.....he does not press charges of animal abuse against the abusers. this officer is clearly confused and out of line? he does not understand his duties and responsibilities to the public that he serves. he is a danger to the public. he intimated a woman ........not a good trait for someone who is employed by the public and carries a gun.

I enjoyed open house at the new location, 9630 Julian Clark Avenue. All of the staff members were…read morefriendly as they always are, unless they're standing in front of me while I am in the driver's seat. The building is spacious and everyone has space to do what needs to be done. I received an explanation of the intake room as well. My prayer is that I only enter that building or any other police-type facility as a visitor. They served pizza, snacks, cupcakes, cake, fresh, individually brewed coffee, and goody bags for the kids. They also had a video playing in the break room showing their old digs where they didn't have enough space. We all had a great time VISITING and touring the new police station.

About a week ago I called the MPD to report seeing 2 cars with identical rear license plates on…read morethem. The plates were Texas plates, and Texas requires a plate on the front and the back of any vehicle. The person who took my call and my contact information said someone from MPD would call me back shortly. In a while a "wireless caller" called me, confirmed who I was, and basically had me repeat what I'd told the original person at MPD. He said he would "check it out" and "get back to me with any questions". Never heard another word, and the 2 vehicles are now parked side by side at 107 Chase Water in Mooresville (28117). The picture below shows the 2 cars and the 2 identical plates. MPD was very unprofessional and apparently didn't do anything.

over the several years we've lived around here I've had the opportunity to talk to the police on…read moreseven or twelve occasions and while it hasn't always been fun we've never a bad exchange. we had a couple officers out to dispatch a rabid animal one weekend when animal control wouldn't send a tech in a truck. before that we had officers show up with hands on their holsters asking for names and addresses and what are we doing in stern tones and insisting we move verrry slowly when producing identification after I'd accidently leaned on the alarm button. another time a half dozen vehicles came down the street with all the lights on looking for a fellow who had recently committed an armed robbery; we were told rather abruptly to get inside and stay there until the situation got resolved - not super polite but appropriate to the situation... other interactions include questions about street parking, overtaking liquor-sickles, noise ordinances, other parking, the posting of private property to deter unwanted and unwelcome visitors and stuff like that... so yeah, it's hard enough dealing with the criminal element and the willfully ignorant so how about we all just try to get along..?

I would like to make a comment about a serious problem…read more These folks are driving way too fast on O'HARA Dr, driving like they on a freeway, I have seen speeds probably at 45 MPH, They are running the stop sign at the corner of O'HARA Dr & Antebellum Dr also. A police officer could probably write a hundred tickets a day. I just feel like something needs to be done about this matter before a innocent person or persons get hurt. This is not the first time this has been reported. I would appreciated some kind of response on this because Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department Head Quarters received a fax on April 27, 2019 about this also.

Yesterday I popped by to file for a permit and get some fingerprinting done. I was super nervous…read morethis would take hours and be really complicated. I went as soon as they opened at 8AM. It ended up being a breeze! When you arrive you have to go through a metal detector and the entrance to the office is right after that. Parking was shockingly available uptown, I think because it was early AM. The staff in the office that helped were nice and fast. I was the only one in the office and waited about 5 minutes before I was called back to do my fingerprints. The entire process probably took me about 15 minutes, maybe. It was super fast and everyone was nice!

For a large county and large city, you would think that professionalism and correct business…read morepractices would be there. Here in the last few months beginning in December 2025, personally, I have dealt with staff personally at the courthouse, believe was courthouse, where civil processes can be filed. The deputy at the metal detector made a comment about me knowing something since I was the man walking in with her. Very rude. Staff was not nice, However, had to go to their site to update info . mecksheriff.com. Not working. security risk. Not secure site. What? Cmon Man.

I know that these brave men and women will have my back whenever I need them. Words to describe…read morethem: law-abiding, friendly, courteous, courageous, patriotic, and selfless. If you ever need help, give this PD a call. You should feel safe with these trained professionals at your rescue. Whether you were just injured in an accident, your house has been robbed, or there's gunshots next door... These fine police will risk their lives for yours, and nothing will get in their way of bringing justice to all.

Called 911 and had a pretty considerable hold so I hung up since I wasn't physically harmed or near…read moredeath. Awaken again with the shenanigans and noise; I called once more and after 4 minutes I just said c'est la vié .... Hung up. Eventually, they called back. Asked for my info and number, that dispatch has just called me on, but I get it.... It's a form and they've got to due as trained. Anywhoo, here's the 5 piece BECAUSE dispatch was not it. The officers reported out. They cleared the parking lot without ticketing or jailing anyone from what I saw. Two (2) units worked the front while others followed to ensure they left the commercial back lot. This is policing and it didn't require anything negative or ugly. Back in 2018 and 2017, we had good encounters while living Uptown and they taught me there's no 311 to get them out but 911 is more than acceptable when you need their attention to a matter. I hope they get to push ahead with their police village as the city continues to grow they need more officers and more people with Emergency Communication and Services. If 4 million are estimated to be here in a few years then we need up to 10% for staffing all public services.

Do the police get a special dispensation when they park illegally? Should an officer who is not…read moreresponding to an emergency call and has not activated their emergency lights be held to the same standard as the citizens they serve and protect? This evening, I witnessed three CMPD vehicles (two marked, one unmarked) parked illegally in uptown Charlotte. No ticket, no lights, no nothing. A parking area designated as "No parking any time" and yet, no parking ticket. Why do different rules apply to the police when in fact they should be held to a higher standard since they are the ones who should be most familiar with the laws they are enforcing? UPDATE: A Lieutenant from CMPD informed me that all three officers were parked on official police business. [Review 21151 overall - 3515 in North Carolina - 114 of 2024.]
