May 13, 1992 - Community policing is established in Charlotte.

• Community policing differs from regular police enforcement. The goal of the officers is to work together with residents to solve problems.
• This move is part of a national movement to change policing. The Charlotte Police Department initiates this effort with the cooperation of Charlotte’s residents.
