BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
This action will allow the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office Executive Team to purchase the outgoing Sheriff’s Glock handgun, for presentation to Sheriff Irwin Carmichael in recognition of his 32 years of service to the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office and Mecklenburg County. North Carolina law, G.S. 20-187.2 provides for the award of badges and service weapons of officers killed in the line of duty or upon retirement. Historically, this has been a customary practice for retiring or deceased law enforcement officers. Sheriff Carmichael is not retiring; however, the executive team is requesting Board of County Commissioner approval to award him his service weapon. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department awards weapons without charge upon officer’s retirement. The weapon is valued at $409.00.
