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
  • Develop the "Neighbors for a Safer Charlotte" website as the primary source for):
    1. CMPD communications and updates
    2. Statistical information on crime, law enforcement, the court system and related budget issues
    3. Preventive measures
    4. News on neighborhood watch efforts
    5. Contact information for elected officials and district judges   by address and district
    6. Bi-partisan information on elected officials and political candidates who are committed to the issues of community safety
    7. Community meeting announcements
    8. Education on the functions of our city, county and state governing process
    9. Background on legislative issues and efforts related to crime and community safety
