Civilian Crash Investigators Take the Wheel

Huntersville Police are ditching badge-wearing officers for minor crashes, deploying trained civilian investigators to handle fender benders and parking tickets—freeing sworn officers to tackle real emergencies. It’s not a new idea: Charlotte-Mecklenburg, Gastonia, and Mooresville already do it. With 3,000 crash calls logged in just four months, this move slashes paperwork, speeds up response, and keeps traffic flowing. Smart, scalable, and essential for growing communities under rising demand. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
