3 Welcome Captain Foley! Hello, I m Captain Brian Foley, the new commander of CMPD s University City Division. I was assigned to this position in September 2015, having completed a tour in the city-wide Watch Commanders Office. I am a current and native resident of Charlotte, graduate of Myers Park High School and have a BS in Political Science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. An officer since 1992, I have served with the Mecklenburg County Police Department and the consolidated Charlotte- Mecklenburg Police Department. I have had assignments in the former Adam 1 and Charlie 1 Districts; and have spent over 11 years assigned in the Northern part of Mecklenburg County, including the University area and most recently in the North Division. I am a recipient of the CMPD Police Community Relations award and Outstanding Employee of the Year award. I have a special interest in community and business relations and enjoy speaking to groups regarding growth and development in Charlotte-Mecklenburg and its effects on crime and policing. I am excited to be assigned back to this familiar territory and am looking forward to working with all of you to address the challenges of further growth and development in University City.

7 The Address Confidentiality Program helps victims keep abusers from discovering their new address. We help protect survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and human trafficking. More than 990 people currently participate in the program. Keeping Your New Address Confidential: If you move to escape abuse, you can join the Address Confidentiality Program and have your first-class mail sent to a substitute address chosen by the Attorney General's office. We forward your mail to you and keep your new address secret. You can also use the substitute address to register to vote, get a driver license, or sign up for utilities like water and electricity. How To Sign Up: If you are a victim of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, or human trafficking, talk to an application assistant at a domestic violence or sexual assault center. To be eligible for the program you must move or be in the process of moving to a new address, and sign a statement that you fear for your safety or the safety of your children. For more information about the Address Confidentiality Program, read our brochure or contact the program manager by or by phone at (919) Become An Application Assistant: Our office has trained more than 280 individuals to help enroll victims in the Address Confidentiality Program.

8 The City s graffiti program emphasizes anti-graffiti education, ordinance enforcement and prevention. Since its inception in 2001, the program has assisted in the cleanup of more than 5,000 graffiti incidents. Read the Graffiti Ordinance at Municode.com (Chapter 10). See graffiti? Report it by ing graffiti@ci.charlotte.nc.us, using the Online Graffiti Reporting form or calling 311. Most graffiti on public property can be removed within 48 hours. Removal from private property may take longer due to notification of property owners. Gangs & Graffiti. Gangs often use graffiti to mark areas in which they operate. The City s Code Enforcement Division works very closely with the CMPD to identify gang related graffiti and map the area where specific gangs operate. This information keeps officers up to date on what gangs are operating in a particular area and what problems may arise.

10 The Narcotics section is responsible for collecting, archiving and disseminating narcotics-related intelligence for successful investigations and prosecutions. The goal is to reduce all criminal activity by effectively investigating, combating and interdicting the importation of illegal drugs into Mecklenburg County, thus enhancing the quality of life for the citizens in our community. This is accomplished by developing informant networks, working undercover, conducting surveillance, processing criminal intelligence data, arresting drug dealers and buyers who engage in illegal drug transactions. Detectives work closely with other units within CMPD, especially the Gang and Firearm Enforcement Division, the Intelligence Unit as well as their counterparts on the state and federal level.
