Citizen Cherry

Former Greensboro police Cap. Charles Cherry discloses in a memo that City Manager Rashad Young has turned down his termination appeal. Cherry had been commander of the department's Eastern Division until the time he was placed on administrative duty status in June. He is the highest ranking officer to have been pushed out of the department this year.

Cherry announces in the memo that a community meeting will be held on Nov. 11 at 6 p.m. at Bethel AME Church to "discuss police accountability and professionalism, among other things." Meanwhile, the police department holds an official community forum on the same night for citizens in the Western Division at Lewis Recreation Center. The main focus of that and three other community meetings will be crime statistics and call prioritization, but a press release also promises that Chief Ken Miller will "review changes in GPD including mission and core values revisions, the restructuring process, core strategies and discipline process revisions."
