Charlotte-Mecklenburg, N.C., PD Announces Real-Time Crime App

Government Technology: Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police launched a new smartphone application Thursday called "MyCMPD" that allows users to be alerted of crime as it happens in real time in neighborhoods close to their homes, schools or workplaces.
