The Huntersville Police Department has issued a media release addressing recent juvenile activity at Birkdale Village that has raised concerns among residents, tenants, and visitors.

According to the department, they are aware of the situation and understand the community’s expectations for safety and order. In response, Huntersville Police will be increasing enforcement and visibility in and around Birkdale Village, especially during peak hours.

What to Expect

HPD says you will see:

• Directed patrols during peak periods

• Increased traffic and parking enforcement

• Proactive engagement with groups congregating on the property

• Rapid response to calls for service

• Continued coordination with Birkdale Village management

When violations of state law or town ordinances are observed, enforcement action will be taken.

Additional Security Measures

Police have been working closely with Birkdale Village ownership and management for several months as additional security measures have been implemented. These include:

• An earlier curfew policy for unaccompanied minors

• Increased private security coordination

• Addition of off-duty Huntersville Police officers on Friday and Saturday evenings

It is important to note that Birkdale Village is private property. Policies such as age-based curfews are determined by property management and enforced in coordination with their security team. Huntersville Police enforce North Carolina law and Town of Huntersville ordinances and may assist with lawful trespass enforcement at the request of property management.

The department’s stated objective is clear: protect public safety and ensure residents, businesses, and visitors can access and enjoy Birkdale Village without disruption.

Exclusive Interview on Good Morning LKN

Good Morning LKN had the exclusive interview with Huntersville Police Chief Brian Vaughan and Maureen Smith from Birkdale Village to discuss the recent incidents, the enhanced enforcement efforts, and what the new policies mean for families and visitors moving forward.

The conversation provided additional context around the curfew policy, how enforcement will work, and the shared responsibility between law enforcement, property management, and the community to maintain a safe environment.

Huntersville Police expressed appreciation for the community’s cooperation and patience as these measures are implemented. They also remind residents that if you see something concerning, call 911.

As always, we’ll continue to keep Lake Norman informed.
