I don't see crime happening in this area of Charlotte. I see it happening occasionally closer to uptown Charlotte, but not really in the southern parts. I'm sure it happens, crime happens everywhere. But since I don't see it, I figure the police do a really good job of keeping it under locks and preventing issues from becoming bigger. Police are active at every school I've gone to, which is great for the parents to feel safer. I actually have a neighbor who's a cop. He's incredibly friendly and watches our house when we go on vacations. Almost everytime I go somewhere, I see at least one cop car on the road. They have a presence in big store parking lots as well. The few times we have had to call them for something, they show up quickly.
