Governing: Some 911 calls in Charlotte, N.C., would be diverted away from the police department under a broad plan for public safety reform approved Monday by City Council.
The plan to shift certain responsibilities from police to mental health clinicians or non-law enforcement professionals comes as city leaders and many activists say they want to “re-imagine” the role of Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police. Still others have said they want the police department “defunded” in light of police violence cases nationally.
