Our Northeast Service Area Crime Reduction Unit (CRU), along with officers from our Hickory Grove, North Tryon and University City Divisions, recently had a very successful Friday night operation, focusing on several problem spots in their service area, such as Sugar Creek Road and University City Boulevard. The traffic enforcement and proactive policing efforts led to the seizure of numerous firearms, large quantities of narcotics and the disruption of a street takeover. Great work, officers!

Our Northwest Service Area Crime Reduction Unit (NWSA CRU) recently received information from our Crime Gun Unit regarding a suspect selling marijuana and marijuana vape pens.
After extensive investigation, officers located the suspect and attempted a traffic stop. The suspect fled at a high rate of speed but was tracked by the Real Time Crime Center and taken into custody by officers without incident.
Officers searched the vehicle and executed a search warrant for the suspect’s residence, locating and seizing:
· 1 vehicle
· 3 firearms
· Body armor
· Money counter
· Approximately $3990 in U.S. currency
· 5 cases of suspected marijuana vape pens/synthetic marijuana
· Approximately 4.9 pounds of suspected marijuana
Kentral Morton, 22, was arrested and charged with
· Possession with Intent to Sell or Deliver a Schedule VI Controlled Substance—Marijuana
· Felony Flee to Elude
· Reckless Driving
· Speeding
· Driving While License Revoked
This case showcases the strong partnership and shared commitment among the NWSA CRU, the Crime Gun Unit, and the RTCC. The success of investigation was made possible only through their coordinated efforts and collective dedication.

"Our job is not to change data ... it is simply to take that data to perform analysis, meaning to extract as much useful information out of it as we can and then create information products out of it to help people to make decisions, to reduce crime and disorder and to make people feel safer."
Hear from Robert Broughton, of our Crime Analysis and Data Analytics Division, about what they do, how they work and why their work is so important.
