CHARLOTTE, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) \u2014 \u201cI\u2019m aware of the violence and the things that can happen,\u201d said Charlotte resident Brandi Williams. \u201cSo, I am very much in support of how we can work together as a community to address this issue.\u201d<\/p>

Safety continues to be top of mind for many Charlotte residents, including Brandi Williams, a member of the Park at Oaklawn Homeowners\u2019 Association, who attended Tuesday\u2019s special Charlotte City Council Safety Committee Meeting, calling attention to teen takeovers.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy specific concern, that if we don\u2019t get a handle on this, the consequences may become fatal,\u201d said Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Estella Patterson.<\/p>\n

CMPD told committee members about takeovers in June, over the Fourth of July weekend, and this past weekend at University City.<\/p>\n

\u201cNear the boardwalk, we had another mass gathering of 200 to 300 youth<\/strong> that resulted in fights and disorder and a firearm being confiscated from a 16-year-old,\u201d added Chief Patterson.<\/p>\n

CMPD reports there have been 532 criminal juvenile incidents from January 1, 2026, to July 5, 2026. 456 of them took place from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m.<\/p>

A citywide curfew is already in place for juveniles, but CMPD is recommending a stricter rule that will require anyone 17 and under to be inside by 9 p.m.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis change, or this proposal, is not going to 100% prevent incidents,\u201d said Chief Patterson. \u201cIt\u2019s a tool that is going to help us moving forward. We have to make sure we are talking about all the different things we can do to have safe spaces for our young people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brandi Williams says she\u2019s involved with several youth organizations, and if they can do one thing for the youth and all residents, it\u2019s to work together.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think there needs to be a coordinated effort among youth-serving organizations to say, \u2018Here is what we are doing,’\u201d added Williams. \u201cBut the youth also need to be involved.\u201d<\/p>\n

Charlotte City Council didn\u2019t give a timeframe for when the full council would vote on the new proposal, but they say it will happen quickly.<\/p>
