CITY OF CHARLOTTE STATEMENT
Yesterday’s officer-involved shooting and the ensuing events have been very difficult for our community.
It is important that we continue our tradition of working together to solve our problems thoughtfully and peacefully. We will rely on the strength of our neighborhoods, business leaders and faith communities as we heal during this difficult time.
As we express our diverse viewpoints and perspectives, we must remember our mutual desire to be treated with dignity and respect, and for Charlotte to remain a safe city for everyone. Community meetings and dialogue will continue to foster peaceful protests and serve as productive avenues for developing solutions.
As more information becomes available and community discussions take shape, we encourage residents to share their thoughts via a community feedback phone line at 704-336-8302. These comments will be shared with your elected officials and community leaders.
As always, in the event of an emergency, please call 911 immediately. We thank you for your patience and for remaining calm during this difficult time.
