Description

The Charlotte Area Transit System highlights G4S Special Police, a dedicated and highly-trained group of police officers to keep you safe. (A full transcript is available below.)

Somebody has to be there 24/7, because again, crime doesn’t sleep.
Serve and protect. It’s the core of what G4S does.
G4S is the first line of defense for people in Charlotte who ride transit. They interact with thousands of passengers a day.
“I love working here. I really do,” says Sgt. G Smith. “I really do enjoy it. It gives me the opportunity to help people, to make a difference. You get to do a little bit of everything out here, you really do.”
You’ll find these highly-trained law enforcement officers day or night - along the LYNX light rail, patrolling park and ride locations, and here at the Charlotte Transportation Center.
“Any police action that needs to be taken in those areas we can do,” says Sgt. C Grier. “I choose to do my policing here, but I can take that certification and go apply for any police agency within North Carolina and be hired on to do any job that any other police officer has.”
And while Charlotteans enjoy a little extra time with their families this holiday season, G4S will be here to keep you safe.
“It is a big sacrifice to have to work holidays and stuff, but it’s part of the job. It’s what I signed up to do.”
