Congrats to our October Employee of the Month: Detention Sergeant Joey Street, a dedicated member since 2001. His contributions have truly been the difference, helping MCSO become the first sheriff's office in NC to receive a certification in the Carolina Safety Star Program. 🌟
MCSO will continue to collect donations at 5225 Spector Dr, Charlotte, NC 28269. On Saturday, October 5, our Community Engagement Team will be taking donations from 9am - 1pm.
We’d like to thank everyone who has dropped off donations. Today will be the last day we will be taking donations so we can properly prepare for the drop off. Please consider donating to other reputable organizations as we continue to offer assistance to Western North Carolina.
UPDATE: Over the last couple weeks, crews have installed window wrapping and flooring in the new Post Release Resource Center.
If you recall, last month MCSO and

partnered up to paint the walls and give the space a fresh new look!
