Charlotte residents may soon see a private police force patrolling sidewalks adjacent to public transit facilities. Under Council’s resolution, the company’s jurisdiction would be extended to include:Areas adjacent to the Charlotte Transit CenterEast Trade Street and sidewalksThe entire Rail TrailSidewalks surrounding Eastland Transit CenterSidewalks around the Rosa Parks Community Transit Center on Beatties Ford Road. An expanded role for the private firm is one of several security measures CATS announced shortly after Zarutsk’s death — an Oct. 22 incident that fueled days of heated rhetoric leveled at Mayor Vi Lyles and Charlotte city government. The Republican-led Federal Transit Administration announced an investigation to examine CATS’ safety procedures, and the Justice Department announced federal charges against the man suspected of killing Zarutsk. The maps below, provided by the city, show areas of the city that would be impacted by Professional Police Services’ expanded authority.
