Eastway Division
About Us

The Eastway Division currently encompasses nearly 10.2 square miles of historic and older communities like Plaza-Midwood, one of Charlotte's oldest neighborhoods. The buildings range from turn-of-the-century factories and blue collar housing to elegant residences and the city's first country club, Charlotte Country Club. The historic North Charlotte Community represents an important phase in the development of the City of Charlotte, and today many of the original cotton and textile mills have been converted into private residences. The Eastway Division includes a strong commercial and international community along the Central Avenue corridor, and Eastland Mall is located here, too. The estimated population is 44,285.
 
Currently  1 Captain, 8 Sergeants, 90 Officers and 1 Investigative Technician staff the Eastway Division. The office is located at the Eastway Crossing Shopping Center, 3024 Eastway Drive.
 
The division is divided into three response areas and operates three standard work shifts with two overlapping shifts. The majority of officers are assigned to these shifts, although the district also operates specialized squads of Warrant Officers, Traffic Officers, Division Investigators and Community Response Officers.
