New Police Bikes For First Ward

Today I had the pleasure of taking part in a event at the Central Division roll call where the First Ward Community Fund gave two new bikes to CMPD for use in Uptown Charlotte and First Ward. The Fund is a non-profit corporation with a goal of helping to make the community a success. Thanks to the generosity of our board, our neighbors and uptown businesses we were able to purchase two bikes rather than one as originally intended. Caitlen Nelis of Queen City Cait Photography was kind enough to donate her time and talents as she photographed the event. WCNC news covered the donation in this story.
