Above is the website for Neighbors For A Safer Charlotte. This is a grassroots Charlotte organization. These are their stated goals:
Continue meeting with CMPD, city/county leaders, the DA's office and court system, and other appropriate agencies to understand the nature of crime in our community, as well as past and current crime fighting efforts
Partner with other civic groups (Charlotte Chamber, Center City Partners, CMS, Foundation for the Carolinas and other civic-centered foundations) and citizen coalitions to understand what community-based efforts are underway or have been identified as priorities.
Bring together neighborhood associations across Mecklenburg County to share information on crime in our community and on efforts to deter and prevent crime.
Commission studies to identify areas of strength and deficiency in the law enforcement and justice system in our region
Seek the participation and financial support of the civic and business community throughout Charlotte and Mecklenburg County
