CMPD is going all in on the crime is down mantra and now they are blaming your perception.
You see crime is not as bad as you think it is just your perception is off. Seriously you need glasses!

From CMPD:
Repeat offenders can have a huge impact on the perception of crime in Charlotte.
By increasing incident and victimization numbers, habitual offenders inflate crime statistics while, in reality, multiple incidents are the work of one or a few individuals. Breaking and/or Entering a Motor Vehicle is one type of incident that CMPD often encounters repeat offenders.
On April 9, the University City Division’s Auto Crime Task Force arrested Sidney Truesdale, 41, on warrants obtained in 16 cases. Truesdale was previously arrested by CMPD on March 28 for two counts of Breaking and/or Entering a Motor Vehicle, Possession of a Firearm by Convicted Felon and Larceny of a Firearm.
The total list of charges for 18 cases from the University City Division are:
· Breaking and/or Entering a Motor Vehicle—25 counts
· Larceny of a Motor Vehicle—two counts
· Felony Larceny—three counts
· Larceny of Choice in Action—one count
· Larceny of a Firearm—four counts
· Possession of a Firearm by Convicted Felon—three counts
· Misdemeanor Larceny—two counts
Truesdale has an extensive criminal history which includes an additional 17 pending Breaking and/or Entering a Motor Vehicle charges.
In total, Truesdale has been charged with 42 counts of Breaking and/or Entering a Motor Vehicle since 12/23/2024.
The investigation into these cases is active and ongoing. Anyone with information can report it anonymously by contacting Crime Stoppers at 704-334-1600 or Charlotte Crime Stoppers.
Cedar's Take:
This is insulting - I don’t give a truck what the Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department PIO says, crime is not a perception problem in CLT.
8 victims having their cars broken into is still 8 taxpayers who don’t give a truck if it was 8 crooks or 1. It is still 8 crimes.
Openly saying crime is a perception problem is wrong misguided and total bull shit.
Every 10th vehicle in Charlotte has an expired or a fake plate which translates into no safety inspection, no insurance, no valid driver's license and unpaid property taxes. This is not a perception problem this is an enforcement problem.
Cars routinely drive more than 80, 90, 100, 100+ on our interstate highways. This is not a late night 2am street take over this is 9 am on a Monday they just don't care because there are no police. This is not a perception this is a fact.
I get it there are not enough CMPD officers to write greenies. There are not enough free units to answer calls about kids on electric bikes doing wheelies in the middle of Carmel Road at 5 pm. I get it the judges in this town refuse to hold criminals accountable so why even bother to arrest anyone?
I get it, we all get it. But it is not our perception that is off it's CMPD's command perception that the taxpayers are stupid. We aren't and we've had enough!
Put Sgt June in the June month of the calendar! My perception is wayyy off!
ReplyDeleteVets, how did you all get 100% disability? Couldn’t even get 25% after 20 years in the Guard… How can yal work as police with 100% though? Makes ya wonder.
ReplyDeleteAsk SGT AQUINO. She gets 100% disability check and supervisor pay.
DeleteShe’ll probably lie to you. Seems to be her MO. Let’s promote her though. Gotta continue running this bad boy into the ground!
Delete8:06 having 100% doesn’t mean that you can’t be a cop…. I thoroughly enjoy the fact that I make more than my major with my VA and salary combined and don’t have to deal with the bullshit
DeleteSick
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing EVERYTIME you think they’ve reached the most stupid level damned if they don’t find away to take it further. The PIOs statement is indicative of the holier than thou attitude from command and a large segment of officers, which started with RoMo and continues to this day.
ReplyDeleteThe multiple charges are overkill and lead to higher insurance rates when the auto writers see that many charges. Something is fishy. Did the crime scene techs really get evidence that many times?
ReplyDeleteAnd lay off the tag thing. A lot of us can’t afford to get the emissions fix they try to shove on us, hence we use the temp plates until the tide gets picked up
Overkill? Fuck off! Lay as many on him as you can so the piss poor DA has something to negotiate with so they don’t have to go to trial. Lay off the tag thing? Fuck that too! Stop cars for anything and put at least two charges on each citation. Command staff can stop cars as easy as us. Get off your lazy fucking asses and do a little enforcement once in a while. Not asking you to kick in a door or serve a 99. Pull a car on the way in to work from your house in another county.
DeleteYou would have to know the law to start doing that and majority of cmpd doesn’t know basic laws
Delete5:20 I would agree with you but sounds like you are a traffic fag. Guns and drugs are the only thing that matters not soccer moms going 5 miles over the speed limit
DeleteBro thinks his misd CCG that gets a PJC (still ends up being a voluntary dismissal) matters and a dime bag is goon work
DeleteAt least I get a gun, keep pulling them soccer moms over dick tracy
DeleteNothing will stick and he will be free. Total waste of time and taxes.
ReplyDeleteTypical of CMPD it started with Rodney. "No Gangs in Charlotte". Meanwhile Feds loading up MS-13 on buses weekly. Garry is now upset Feds are arresting TDA inside the court house.
ReplyDeleteThey are all liars.
As for the bogus plates don't expect that to change unless you clean house at City Council and AG's office. Everyone knows Jeff Jackson is worthless.
Temp plates are just that, temp
DeleteEmission controls are a racist way of forcing us to have to buy newer cars. SC doesn’t have them, because half the counties are 90% poverty. Nc needs to quit with the fake Jim Crow. Let me drive until I can afford insurance and tags.
That’s funny shit. You are just going to keep driving your mommas car until she gets it repossessed you broke ass bum.
DeleteIf I could qualify, it would be mine
DeleteRep Clyburn needs to fix this for us all. You try pay in rent in the 704 on my families check and card
Who cares… anybody seen the latest @therealsienicole content?? Sheesh!!!
ReplyDeleteJust make an OF already, I’d be the first to pay! 🤤
DeleteCalm down bittenbender
DeleteHot dam, is she still with cmpd?
DeleteDominick Izzo roasted her on Instagram
DeleteHe crushed her on copytalklive. Fordham needs to do police work and stop being a hoe. Oh wait she don’t know how to do anything but use filters and make videos on duty.
DeleteThird shifter is obsessed. Get over her bro. She don’t want u
DeleteI’m happy we released a video about the shooting last year. How much is actually true, though?
ReplyDeleteAsk JJ
DeleteIt’s nice that they honored those fallen men, but I don’t like the spectical they do to generate recruitment and respect.
DeleteI like to think positively but you never know for sure
DeleteLuv that Dey gave the Purple Hearts to our boys in blue.
Delete485 about noon yesterday had better racing action than NASCAR has seen in years. Unfortunately the four lane swerves were all temp tags. Ironically all the same description.
ReplyDeleteDo our LE officers just refuse to enforce traffic now post Ferguson post Floyd or is this directed action by command to make the quality of life worse for everyone here?
Maybe 15 instances in 5 miles that someone was less than 5’ from a bad wreck.
Years ago Park Road was a borderline speed trap. Now it’s been years since I’ve even seen a CMPD cruiser pull anyone.
No sir
DeleteIf only the police department had a helicopter, or maybe even 2 of them…maybe they could use them to patrol 485.
DeleteMaybe we have the hire backs go do stops all day? 5 citations or they’re fired. We don’t want them on calls.
DeleteCMPD is the laziest agency around. You expect them to stop cars when they sit and let calls hold for hours
DeleteNo CPCC is worse.
DeleteThose aren’t cops
DeleteI hope the loving life festival doesn’t become a losing life event like NYE. Good thing CMPD is fully staffed and ready to engage gunfire.
ReplyDeleteYou couldn’t catch me downtown this weekend if realsienna was headlining on the main stage, much less the normal lunatics.
DeleteI can already smell the weed and sweaty people. Transit Center gonna be lit!
What do you do for entertainment then? Fishin huntin whiskey at house?
DeleteForced gatherings in center city Charlotte are a recipe for disaster.
DeleteWhat plan yall got to keep the dirt bike gangs away? The solid blue light? JJ’s backward vest? Yall will have M16 guy at the Quail gate next month but think relocating 3 of the Northlake parking lot towers is enough to secure a festival.
Free weed zone
Free assault zone
Open game on whitey time
There are so many homeless around that festival area. There will be so many reports and assaults.
DeleteA music festival across the street from Section 8 housing..seems safe.
DeleteChat, is CMPD cooked once Bryley inevitably becomes the next DEI-hire for Police Chief?
ReplyDeleteIt’s been shit out in the toilet for years since Rodney. 1000s of comlplaints and resignations. No morale at all. No production at all.
DeletePeople just live happy in other cities.
The reason the city and the police department is fucked is because it's ran by DEI hires. Period.
DeleteI feel bad for the good officers at CMPD. It’s not a good place for them.
DeleteTrue^ why I’m jumping ship
DeleteYall miss me yet? Yeah, figured.
DeleteNice to see the airport guys riding bikes down concourses this am. Whose idea is this? Can you patrol the employee lot so my car doesn’t get broken into again? How about the ‘unhomed’ population sleeping in baggage claim.
ReplyDeleteHow about you get a better job and don’t tell us what to do?
DeleteI’m guessing you may have been the one who wrecked the Segway
DeleteOr spent all day holding the podium up
NIGGA DONT TRY US AT THE AIRPORT
DeleteRiding bikes down the concourses? Can’t wait for one of those dumbasses to run over an old lady because she wasn’t able to get an assisted escort in a wheelchair. Stupid af!
DeleteOh, and for 0401^, that was Brown who will be gone for getting a 55 in SC.
DeleteI haven’t seen anyone so awkward on a bike since Biden fell. OCV in concourse C. Weaving around lazy people getting pushed in wheelchairs.
DeleteWe won’t see bike patrol in force at the festival but those bums do it indoors in the safest place in CLT
TSA already covered your tails boys, it’s after a full detect. Stand down and go be a Peace Officer
0541 some of you fuckers are peace officers holding down parking lots so what’s the difference?
DeleteWe are called safety ambassadors and we will hold it down for you to play on your phones in the cars.
DeleteLove how toxic it is here….no surprise why other agencies hate us, hell we hate ourselves
DeleteCMPD is just a bunch of crabs in a bucket. There is no brotherhood. I have never seen a group of dudes who gossip more than females. A lot of good old boys system that would cut your throat in a heartbeat.
DeletePeople that complain about gossip are the guys that screw up the most
DeleteI have been with the department 19 years and I have been to IA once 17 years ago. I don’t gossip like a bitch.
Delete19:57 the majority of you little bitches that “gossip” are the same ones that get your asses beat at domestics with two dikes and end up screaming “10-18” 🫨🫨 bunch of little ear piece wearing fags
DeleteGossiping little pussy boys hiding behind your insecurities
DeleteWhen I started I had 3 priorities: stay in my hole, chase the new honeys and dispatch, and count the days til I cashed the pledge fund.
DeleteI guess 2 of 3 isn’t bad still
People that say they don’t gossip are brain dead or veggie status. It’s human nature for cops and nurses to gossip. It’s good to know what’s happening around here.
DeleteIf you’re a pussy school girl maybe
DeleteIf I didn’t talk shop, I woulda never seen the videos of the LT
DeleteCalls commenter gossipers a pussy but he/she/it/they still read these comments. Go back to CNN or Washington Post
DeleteMeaning of gossip- casual or unconstrained conversation or reports about other people, typically involving details that are not confirmed as being true.
DeleteNot all the comments on here are gossip but there is a lot of it and CMPD male officers love to gossip and let untrue stories.
You keep saying that but you never say what Lt…just move on.
DeleteWe are fucked with them promoting Butler and good idea fairy Balamucki to DC.
ReplyDeleteButler is a pussy
DeleteAquino to SGT? Can’t wait to retire from this place. 10 years left!
DeleteIyevbele isn’t far behind, his little cowardly puppy @2112
DeleteMay 23 for promotions. Get ready to see new Sgts, Majors, and DCs.
DeleteWell boys, it’s official, if we’ve learned nothing else it’s perjury and defamation of false rape claims can get you promoted instead of fired at this shitty DEI department.
ReplyDeleteIf she gets promoted I am called Channel 9 news about this system.
DeleteCan’t wait to see how Butler will sink this ship and start headhunting. Watch yo back boys!
DeleteAlready started. Dudes a clown.
DeleteOnly thing missing from his outfit(uniform) are the oversized shoes that he’s going to put up someone’s ass.
Delete@1301: Hopefully civil service denies her.
DeleteNope. I hope she gets the promotion. This placed fucked up by letting her stay. Now they have to let her reap the benefits. Dumbasses
DeleteHonest question…
ReplyDeleteOne 500lb gorilla(hungry, angry, threatened) vs entire airport police without weapons.
Who wins?
Your mom I think
DeleteI wanna go home
ReplyDeleteI'm home now but no worries.
DeleteI have my radio on!
Silly Central when are you going to learn this is just a job and no one at the agency cares about you so you shouldn’t care about anything here but the check clearing.
Delete12:55 some of these idiots make this job their entire personality. It won’t be clear to them until their first trip or two to IA and then they’ll learn the hard way about what this department truly thinks about them.
DeleteJob or MOB?
DeleteI just pray that we can all get through the weekend without a shooting at the music 🎵concert.
ReplyDeleteYou must be kidding. I say 4+ homicides this weekend.
DeleteDamn I was only thinking 2….
DeleteRain gonna lower death count. Chief Bryley will steal credit and say the planning was too good.
DeleteJJ gonna sue the City? He just signed his death warrant. That pussy waited until Tariq resigned to go to DC to drop this crap? All about the OVC? If the City Manager had any balls he would fire that piece of shit!
ReplyDeleteGotta try to get that last fat paycheck otw out
DeleteI hope he takes Reggie at CFD with him. As long as Marcus Jones is around, he’s their safety net.
DeleteJohnny Jennings and Sandy are fucking egotistical clowns. What the fuck is this shit: https://www.wsoctv.com/news/local/9-investigates-charlotte-city-council-votes-not-settle-potential-lawsuit-cmpd-chief/33XXJRVW2BBHFDILJT7WI2EZJA/
ReplyDeleteNobody hurt your reputation but yourself Johnny, you fucking clown
DeleteIf you fuckers go downtown and work that music festival after this shit……well, have a good career hope he doesn’t screw you over before he leaves (or get fired). Good luck.
DeleteDamn just tested positive for Covid. Not gonna be able to pull my shifts this weekend
DeleteJJ, that braces wearing cuck is such a fucking clown. He can go fuck himself.
DeleteThe only reputation harm jj had with a vest was when he wore it backwards
DeleteI remember the meme going around when we were in academy
I want LT Fletcher
ReplyDeleteShe’s hot!
DeleteYeah, hot mess. Raise yo standards homie!
DeleteHey cedar, you need to redo that story about Officer M. Michaels. It looks like CMPD tried to cover up the child abuse of the autistic kid after the mother went to them. Other agencies got involved and so CMPD had to finally do something. Sounds like he kicked his son in the head a few times.
ReplyDeleteMatt did martial arts at our gym with us. We found out he was using it on his family so we kicked him out!
DeleteYeah he sucks, but what did JJ do to retaliate against officers pushing for vests? If he sues the CC then they would need that info for protection.
DeleteWhy does Jennings hate outer carrier vests? It’s the hottest thing and been pushed for years!
DeleteJJ is afraid of vests. Thats why he cant put one on the correct way. Even to this day he doesn’t wear a ballistic vest.
DeleteAny truth that we get Stella in an interim leadership position while Council decides what direction to take CMPD long term
ReplyDeleteWhy not Zeru or Jackie?
DeleteNo…absolutely no truth to that. She is way smarter than to come back to this shit hole and already has a better job.
DeleteYeah thats a lie. She has a good gig in Raleigh now. Through credible grapevines, Jackie will be taking JJ’s position.
DeleteThis whole place is a joke now… From Sgts that don’t do shit to these brats they hire to community coordinators that are there to bs their way through a working day.
ReplyDeleteNOW?
DeleteCommunity Coordinators have always been jokes since 2002. None of them would be here or promoted without that job.
Yall see the EM challenge coin on cop shop? What a joke. Send those turds back to patrol and let that be a civilian spot. Only shit cops work in EM and RTCC. How about you do your job and come find the ones “hiding”.
ReplyDeleteNumber 1 on sgts list was from EM
DeleteCommand college had a guy that’s been at the academy for entire career. Critical scene..what’s that?
DeleteAt least they scored high on the DEI process that has a handicap score for certain attributes by just walking in the door
DeleteThey made sure the guy who placed all “C” on the test didnt get a chance to promote
DeleteListen, I’ll sue anyone I have to. Now that daddy Trump is back in office and he’s targeting programs like CMPD Serves, my DEI jobs are going away. What am I supposed to be? Be a cop?
ReplyDeleteCops still going to BoJangles after that mess shows how little these people care about each other. Any other department would black list a restuarant but not us.
ReplyDeleteLeave it to the cedar community to regularly assure me that I made the right decision to leave CMPD. Butler to DC? May God have mercy on you all. Aquino to Sgt? That’s a low I didn’t even realize was possible. Whatever they’re paying you all, that’s not worth it.
ReplyDeleteI hope they make Aquino the Sgt over the Rape Unit.
DeleteShe reminds me of that army pilot that crashed the helicopter in DC. Trump said she was a DEI hire, too.
DeleteRyan Butler is gonna be a DC. Y’all are truly well screwed. He has always been a Shitbird.
DeleteButler is a fag
DeleteWonder how much longer Johnny has…. I can’t believe he’s stayed as along as he has.
ReplyDeleteHe’s gotta wait a few more months before he’s released from orthodontics. Then he’s good to go. Gotta let that city plan cover them nice teefs
DeleteCedar please cover the link below. Thom Tillis often votes against Americans best interests. If he votes against confirming Ed Martin as expected, he needs to be recalled!
ReplyDeletehttps://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/05/disgusting-if-republican-senators-do-not-confirm-ed/
It’s easy to piss on these promotions but someone has to fill these roles. Someone has to tell the lies.
ReplyDeleteAnybody see the Fordham post on Coptalk? Daaaaaamnnnn she got put on blast! Baby girl going to have some splaining to do.
ReplyDeleteLink? No idea what coptalk is
DeleteDid you see Fordham’s ass at the challenge workout? GOOD GOD
DeleteWhat is coptalk?
DeleteLooked like she had a shit stain up the back
DeleteJJ getting another settlement vote? That’s like Putney double dipping and the mayor being okay with it.
ReplyDeleteImagine being one of the officers JJ had fired and watching him get a check for reputational damage. Why do the black people in Charlotte government run scams like this?
DeleteSo so typical. So so easy to spend whiteys money. All he needs is to get disability and he’s hit the Afam lottery.
DeleteReputational harm? He had a guard in the lobby jacking off.
Congratulations Chief! Hope you spend that money wisely. Hey, how about donating it the FOP to assist families that had an officer killed in the line of duty.
ReplyDeleteThat would mean he cares about someone other than himself
DeleteImagine, we are going to get shafted on raises AGAIN because the city gotta pay this crap out and they take it out on all us on the line.
DeleteF Johnny, go man the glory hole at CPI
Wait so we aren’t getting our raise because the settlement is with taxpayers money ??
DeleteYou settle a lawsuit before it’s filed? Bokhari Is and was a bully… and used CMPD as his pulpit to make a stand on … JJ May as well retire now, if he had any credibility it’s gone now. Just when you think CMPD can’t sink lower down it goes again.
ReplyDeleteSad how embarrassing this agency has become. It’ll only get worse with the incompetent morons and liars being promoted and the garbage quality over quantity recruits with our newfound “safe learning environment”. Soft ass shit. Glad I’m leaving.
DeleteQuantity over quality**
DeleteMy boy it’s been cowardism for a long time.
DeleteJennings actions are reflective of the internal behaviors that have existed for 20 years. All those people are like that and nothing changes.
ReplyDeleteHey, but that $100k tho
ReplyDeleteDudes a scumbag
DeleteHe strong armed them and they folded like a lawn chair. He just got a bonus, and my guess will be shown the door. I’m sure it will have the appearance it was his idea. They settled a lawsuit that WASN’T even filed. Maybe I should threaten a lawsuit also. Seems they set precedent. Go get you some!
