CMPD Chief Monroe reappointed to state crime commission

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Rodney Monroe has been re-appointed to Gov. Pat McCrory’s crime commission, which advises the governor and the secretary of Public Safety on crime and justice issues.

Monroe became CMPD chief in 2008. He has served on the Governor’s Crime Commission since May 2009.

The appointment is for a three-year term.

“Chief Monroe’s extensive service to the state as a law enforcement officer, along with his prior commission experience, makes him a perfect fit for the Governor’s Crime Commission,” McCrory said in a statement.

The commission’s chief initiatives are safer schools, gang prevention and intervention and partnerships with veterans.
