Indian Trail Police launch dual sport patrols to enhance community safety

The Indian Trail Town Council meeting on April 22, 2025, highlighted several key initiatives aimed at enhancing community safety and engagement. A significant focus was placed on the proactive measures being taken to address repeat offenses in the area, with local law enforcement working diligently to improve compliance among businesses holding Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) permits.

During the meeting, it was reported that four officers recently completed training at the ABC school, equipping them with the skills necessary to conduct inspections across over 60 establishments, including restaurants, bars, gas stations, and grocery stores. The officers emphasized their commitment to providing educational support to these businesses to prevent future violations, fostering a collaborative relationship that benefits both the community and local enterprises.

In addition to compliance efforts, the council discussed the launch of a second dual sport class for officers, aimed at enhancing patrol capabilities in neighborhoods and on walking trails. These dual sport bikes, which are street-legal dirt bikes, allow officers to cover larger areas more effectively, ensuring the safety of residents, particularly the elderly and vulnerable individuals who frequent these trails. The initiative has been well-received, with officers expressing enthusiasm for the new training and its potential to improve community engagement during events.

The meeting also touched on ongoing infrastructure improvements, specifically the Rogers Road and Wesley Chapel intersection. The council received updates on public outreach efforts related to this critical intersection, which is part of a broader initiative by Union County to enhance traffic safety. The council plans to revisit this topic in their next meeting, where they will consider the feedback gathered during the outreach period.

Overall, the discussions at the Indian Trail Town Council meeting underscored a commitment to community safety, proactive law enforcement, and infrastructure improvements, all aimed at enhancing the quality of life for residents in Indian Trail.
