The work @FBICharlotte & the @CMPD do every day is making a major impact. In a recent joint operation, approximately 70 pounds of suspected narcotics were seized before reaching the streets, likely saving lives. Special recognition to CMPD K9 Bishop whose invaluable work helped make our streets safer. This seizure is part of Operation Summer Heat, an #FBI initiative to crush violent crime in our communities.

Roads are icy, stay home. Last night’s sleet and freezing temperatures are making the roads slick and dangerous. Staying off the roads helps emergency workers to safely do their jobs. If you must travel, remember to: - Drive below the speed limit and avoid sudden stops or sharp turns. - Increase the distance between you and other cars. - Monitor road conditions at DriveNC.gov.

Tomorrow, the Charlotte Region Urban Area Security Initiative, along with dozens of partner agencies, will conduct large-scale emergency response training at Carowinds from October 7 to 9. Expect visible police, fire, and EMS presence in the area from 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Loud noises, simulated gunfire, explosions, and emergency vehicles are part of the exercise. This is ONLY a drill, not an emergency. The park will be closed to the public. This training helps first responders strengthen coordination and improve emergency preparedness for real-world incidents. Thank you for your cooperation as we work to improve emergency preparedness across our region.
