Expect to see armed security guards this summer in uptown Charlotte parks and on nearby greenways. The Charlotte Ledger reports that Mecklenburg County is planning to hire armed guards to help deal with ongoing issues of crime, harassment, and gun violence in Romare Bearden, Fourth Ward, and First Ward parks. The guards are expected to start in July.
