From YouTube: Our Neighbors In Blue: Steele Creek Division

Description

Who's knocking? Discover what's happening in the Southwest corner of Charlotte.

Steele Creek Division is a noticeable patch of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg map.
It is 61 square miles of our Southwest corner.
It's a mixture of everybody, Asian, Hispanic, Black and White and Indian.
Steele Creek still has some farmland.
A couple of decades ago, Steele Creek dairy herds never saw a mall, a four lane street or a golf cart....now all those are more normal, so-to-speak, than our bovine neighbors.
Some Steele Creek characteristics match the rest of Charlotte, away from uptown.
You find both simple and expensive neighborhoods, miles of retail around multi-acre parking lots and zones of truck and rail dependent industry still pumping out product.
There are unique landmarks.
You've got Lake Wylie----and whats-its-name----that adjacent state has a big sign up.
You've got the Police and Fire Training Academy.
And you've got the exotic green canopy of McDowell Nature Preserve..
All the police divisions have rich people and poor people, good people, bad people, plenty of traffic, all kinds of transitions and challenges but Steele Creek is the only division with an amusement park!
Our tour follows CMPD's door knocking route among probationers. It will be a surprise.
Join us on this tour of CMPD's Steele Creek Division.

Officer to George left out the cows, steel Creek still provides green pasture for a few more.

Of a huddle than a herd.

A couple of decades ago, steel, Creek dairy herds never saw a mall, a four lane street or a golf cart. Now all those things are more normal, so to speak than our bovine neighbors. Some steel Creek characteristics match the rest of Charlotte away from uptown. You find both simple and expensive neighborhoods miles of retail. Around multi, acre parking, lots and zones of truck and rail dependent industry still pumping out product. There are unique landmarks: you've got Lake Wylie and what's its name, that adjacent state has a big sign up.

You've got the police and Fire Training Academy and you've got the exotic, green canopy, a MacDowell Nature Preserve.

All the police divisions have rich people and poor people, good people, plenty of traffic, all kinds of transitions and challenges, but steel Creek is the only division with an amusement park with a rollercoaster, but today our Apollo's CMP DS door-knocking roots among probationers. It will be a surprise.

B

Were there to assist probation, this is their. This is their baby, but it's the partnership that allows us to for them to know what they're, what which offenders doing, what and what areas their offenders are causing problems and.

A

Here we go unexpected visitors, sort of like Christmas characters without music will presume all probationers are working to get their lives in order, so no names and the probation officer is not allowed to speak to us on camera. At the first stop of the morning, the ex-offender appeared to have become a model citizen, but his girlfriend. The nurse claims she didn't know. The marijuana hidden under a lamp was marijuana and, besides that, whatever it was wasn't hers, she was keeping it for a friend. She says.

B

A

Here, for a long time, he said: oh, it's, a friend of mine, he's letting your homeless on good I, just put it up on Hilde. We.

B

Got in there we talked to the roommate, which is a girlfriend, and she said that we always ask me to have any drugs guns, anything just to give him a chance to come clean before we even start searching, and she said that she did have a bit of marijuana in there. So she's been excited for that. It's nothing significant, just a small amount, personal use, oh.

A

And there was the license plate thing. The expired plate on the cruiser was reported. Deactivated then went missing from a neighbor's garage. Then, who knows that question remained to be answered? The probationer was not arrested but will have further explaining to do regarding the license plate.

B

Hello, joking here, no, nor is that no one else here.

B

His probation officer, I, know pretty well and in fact, I know real well and he's not gonna like that. He'll probably end up getting on a monitor, so there'll be no question about where he's living or where he's staying every night.

A

Next up no probationer, the neighbor says he left a month ago. His.

B

Probation officer will begin a phone call run from their liaisons with probation they're out here today, letting him know that their their probation has absconded, which means he's not. Where he's supposed to be laying his head at night and action will be taken from the probation office.

A

The probationer who lives at our next stop was it works at his roommate. If that checks out all is well same building down the hall, the probationers guest reported that he knew nothing not where his friend is not Rhys left last night, not when he will return not when he was last home. You.

B

Have an ID on you somewhere all right: let's go get. She said who you say: there's somebody else in here and you're and you're not on the lease here. Okay, the.

A

Guest should expect a follow-up visit very soon and then there was mrs. X, the embezzler. She was pleasant and honest. There was a pistol lurking in her husband's sock drawer. She quickly reported there was unloaded and legal when in the husband's possession well.

B

We have is a 9-millimeter Smith, & Wesson I mean I, see a decent gun. It's nice a little tack, light on it on the end. So.

A

The pistol will leave with an officer to be retrieved only by the owner himself. The goals of the surprise visits include one keeping up with known perpetrators, 2, reminding the perpetrators that C MPD knows who they are and will find them when they attempt to go underground. 3, multiplying police presence were bad guys, 10 together and for supporting parole officers in turning criminals away from careers in crime. It's.

B

Almost is heartening to think that why would you even give these people a second chance, sometimes but I guess for all those that are doing stuff? That are that's wrong. There's that many more that are staying clean and doing the right thing so and that's what you really want that our main goal is to basically help these people out.
